Anyone else have charging issues with EWP?

My SS has about 45k on the original alternator, and is now only putting out around 12.5 volts...a little less at idle, and I'm going to have it beefed up a little by our local electrical shop. Anyone else run into this? I'm not running underdrive pullies, either.

Nope never had a charging issue.

If its a meziere, something is wrong. The mez EWPs for the LT1 should only draw about 8 amps

The car hasn't been driven much, but it only just started having issues. Its probably like every other stock part on my car, going before its time! I don't blame the meziere, but its the only thing that has really changed. It cools much better than before though, so its staying.
