    Thanks for the suggestion of powermaster. I was looking at DCpower and Mechman and the price of powermaster is less. It'll give me a chance to swap my drive belt too.

    Along with the larger alternator you need to have a big enough alternator output wire going back to the battery to support the flow of that many amps. Your dinky factory alt. wire ain't gonna cut it.
