    "This 90 amp 12 Volt Alternator is Made in the USA and is a definite must for cars that have accessories that require extra power like large stereo systems, extra lights, etc.

    It delivers 90 Amps compared to the standard 51 Amps."

    A little caveat there Loose :
    "Price: from $149 w/free ship"
    "New 95 Amp Standard Finish Alternator Rewound in USA [Add $170.00]"
    from
    http://www.kustom1warehouse.net/New_...p/al82xkit.htm
    He's already got an alternator("What is the most powerful alternator for a 1974 super beetle??") so doesn't need a kit .

    Now determine how much more or maybe not so much more power you need dunk :

    which'll drive the cost of only what you need down .
