really depends what you want to spend? Money no object then look at the protek pro20 or pro40 or if your looking to be as cheap as possible look into Computer Server power supplies. HP makes a Server power supply that is 575 watts/47a and its very very simple to mod it to work. Lots of people have gone that route and been more than happy, oh and you can pick them up on Ebay for around $20 SHIPPED.

i think around 100 to 150 tops. i only spent 80 on the chrager so i dont want to go too crazy on the power supply. lol. is there a link or something on how to mod the ebay power supply you listed. thanks for your help.

Thanks for everybodies help on finding a power supply. I think I might have to get 2 different ones just to try them out. Maybe one for home and one for the track.
