The biggest I've seen for our trucks is 160 amps, compared to stock 145 amps. Just google it.

it will not be anywhere near that price if you go on SteveMeadeDesigns.com/board
find Rob in his section and message him.. tell him that I referred you to get an alternator and he will lower the price :)

that alternator does well over 200 amps at idle and 270 amps at 2k RPM

all great company's but I have personally dealt with Rob so I know his customer service.. he actually threw in an overdrive pulley for free with my alt so I could get close to 230+ amps at idle and still well over 270 amps at 2k rpm
he can custom make you a larger alternator if you would like but typically the way they are designed the at idle performance suffers which is why when most people run up to 4 alternators they have a master alternator that is around 220 amps peak so they can still have a good at idle voltage

hope you get one that suits you :)
