Depending on the type of vehicle you have and if you know of some one that can do some fabricating,
you can purchase a Leece-Neville, they have 165's,
200's and 250's. I find the Leece's are far better than the one's from powermaster. I have four of them mounted on my Ford 150 with no problems.

The nice thing about powermasters are they are drop in plug in replacements for late model vehicles. They produce at least 50% amperage at idle and full out at 3000rpm. Leeces are heavy duty no doubt, but large and require serious rpms to get max amperage.
I suggested powermaster for price, performance, ease of installation, and warranty.

TRY JEGS OR SUMMIT RACING, YOU CAN FIND BOTH ON THE NET. OR CHECK YOUR LOCAL ALTERNATOR / STARTER SHOP AND THAY CAN PROBABLY UPGRADE YOURS OR BUILD YOU A NEW ONE. AND AS TECH671 SAID THE POWERMASTERS ARE DROP IN / PLUG IN AND GO!

Check with your local alternator shop, even your dealer where you bought the vehicle. They can usually point you in the right direction of a reputable place that can rebuild the one you have and make it a higher output alternator. Then you don't have to worry about any fabrication or wiring problems. Look for a shop that speciallizes in ambulance, firetruck sytems, they run a lot of juice for their applications and they're used to custom work. Plus they can have a custom size pulley put on as well. I get 70% output at idle with my 270amp.Along with the other suggestions you got already, these shops usually give a one year warranty on their work.
