Stock is 130...i have a PA 200 amp (from Steeda)but didn't get the chrome one but i have seen one and its nice if you want the extra bling under the hood. Reeber asked this question a few months ago maybe he bought one and can show you.

I'm curious with the KB bracket if a bigger alternator would mount on there. I'd take a chrome stocker though. I just want the bling

I just added a UPR stainless steel radiator cover and polished hinged hood props too. Pics to come

I've got a chrome PowerMaster 200amp piece on a 1.7l KB set up

FYI....the bracket had to be custom-fabricated (holes wouldn't line up with the stocker).

my guys at the shop fabbed it up

it's a proper #20 hose with fittings welded to the Tstat-waterneck, as well as the rad

but you need a new aluminum rad to make it work (can't weld to the plastic stocker)...the rad is a Fluidyne piece

I forget what the hose itself cost.....but the rad, fittings, hose etc etc...it was kind of expensive

one thing to understand about chrome, it holds heat. it's nice for show-cars but a big no-no on d/d's or race cars and wth the added heat from chrome, except early faliure from chromed parts vs non-chromed parts
