No nothing is gonna come apart. Car alts put out full amps at a given
RPM. Any any RPM above that is not gonna hurt anything or make it come
apart. Some cars get full juice even lower but most people get under
drive pulleys so that they don't get full juice till a higher RPM to
free up some HP. Most want full juice by 1500rpm. Or the lights get real
dim when stopped at night.
