Angry Alternator problems

So im driving on 580 coming home and my battery light comes on...i didnt think much of it cause 5 miles later it went off...then it comes back on then turns off, then my abs light comes on along with my battery light...so im flippin a bitch cause i just got my car back and im pissed to all **** . so luckly modacar was just down the road so i head over there...as im driving there my power steering goes out...then my radio wont read my cd...this is all bullshit ...so now im waiting here at modacar waiting for the tow truck to take my car over to the livermore dealership, and most likely i will have to get another rental car...but that just means more fun in the rental car and more videos to post up on the internet of me beating the **** out of it...i already had my clutch replaced with only 300 miles on it now my alternator is already going out 4000 miles later...i hope more bullshit happens to my car so i can just lemon it and get the g85 package .

6-8 with an extended RPM range. Thats all stage 1 does. The RPMS are worth it, especially when you add stage 2 to boot. Stage 2 is the power gain. it should be close to 20 HP to the wheels and thats through your entire power band

As soon as I find somewhere who has the stage 1 to stage 2 upgrade kit in stock I will buy along with my header and Dyno my

Stage 2, I/H/E car.

same thing happened with our old grand am, it was fine as long as you stayed at about 4500RPMs, but thats kinda hard to do in an auto lol
