Optima Red Top. It works fine with my stereo system and upgraded alternator.

Red Top Optima without a doubt, i have it, and love it...

what volts do all you guys run at idle?

im at ~13...and while driving its 15..i have underdrive pullies, this is OK voltage, right? i just dont like when im at a red light, i watch my gauge drop, my headlights get dimmer, and then i tap the gas and it jumps to 15 and the headlights brighten up..

Just like my old '56 T'bird with a generator. Don't hurt a thing. Even my '93 does that. Underdrive pulleys and I've got the upgraded 130 alternator.
