Unleash the Power of the Proform Lightning-Bolt Alternator
Here’s the deal: If you’re wrenching on your ride and you’re still running an outdated alternator, you’re leaving performance on the table. That’s where the Proform Lightning-Bolt Alternator comes in to save the day. Built for the gearhead who wants nothing less than peak performance, this beast delivers rock-solid reliability and power when you need it most—whether you’re ripping down the quarter-mile or cruising Main Street on a Saturday night.
Power That’ll Make Your Head Spin
Let’s talk numbers. The Lightning-Bolt cranks out over 80 amps at idle and a whopping 100+ amps when you’re giving it the beans. Translation? This alternator laughs at high-demand setups, keeping your lights bright, your stereo thumping, and your ignition firing hot even when your rig’s electrical system is pushed to the limit.
Key Features
- PROFORM Quality: PROFORM Alternators are made with 100% NEW components, not re-man or refurbished parts.
- BIG AMPS: Over 80 amps at idle and 100+ amps at top end, delivering exceptional performance for demanding setups.
- LIGHTWEIGHT: Weighing only 7 pounds, it’s 40% (4.6 lbs.) lighter than a full-size 10SI alternator.
- SMALL SIZE: Compact 98mm stator size makes it ideal for tight engine bays.
Built Tough for Real-World Abuse
You’re not the type to baby your car, and the Lightning-Bolt isn’t the type to back down. It’s built with high-quality components designed to handle the abuse of real-world driving—from stop-and-go traffic to full-throttle blasts. Plus, with its unique aluminum housing, this alternator doesn’t just perform; it’ll look killer under your hood.


Perfect for Street and Strip
Whether your ride is a daily driver, weekend warrior, or dragstrip dominator, the Proform Lightning-Bolt Alternator fits the bill. It’s the perfect upgrade for anyone looking to ditch their factory unit and step up to serious performance. Easy installation? Check. Reliable power delivery? Double-check. What more could you ask for?
Bottom Line
The Proform Lightning-Bolt Alternator isn’t just an upgrade—it’s a no-brainer for anyone serious about their car. So, what are you waiting for? Swap out that tired old alternator and let the Lightning-Bolt bring your electrical system to life. Trust us, your ride will thank you for it.
