What's wrong with your stock alternator? It's strong enough for what you have.

I feel stock cant keep up at all. Ive heard not to go mean green either thow. Theres apparently alternators that do what the mean green does at high rpms at idle. It was some brand with an m, but it was something like 200 amps at idle...

My choice was two yellow tops, and solenoid battery isolator (200 Amp., Red Arc, SBI212 Smart Isolator).
