High Output Alternator Kit

[ChgrSteve67]

Looking to buy a high output alternator kit for my 67 charger and would like some opinions.

Here is the company's web site and list of HOAK's
http://www.alternatorparts.com/chrysler_alt_repair_upgrade_kits.htm

Looking specifically at "CHRYSLER ALTERNATOR 105-AMP UPGRADE KIT (Round Back alt) Part # HO-7014 "

Is 105-AMP going to be too much? or should I go with the 80-AMP?

I have replaced all of my wiring harnesses with new and upgraded the voltage regulator from mechanical to electronic.
My current alternator is a dual field 60-AMP

I am adding electric fans (20-AMPS), aftermarket AC unit (probably another 20-AMPS), new radio and speakers and digital instramentation.

Comments?
Suggestions?

Is there anything else that needs to be changed if I go 105?

When I upgraded my alternator I look at the stereo guys web site's. These guy's are running 3000 + watt amps and know all the tricks. The first thing is to run a heavy gauge wire -4 gauge is fine for us, they like 2 or 0 - from the alternator output to the positive post of the battery. You leave the stock wire alone, it still will help out. The negative wire to ground needs to be either 2 gauge  or just run two 4 gauge to the ground, make sure the alternator ground is good or better yet run the negative wire right to the alternator. Thats it, the alternator will charge fine now and will not over load the stock wiring.

Also, keep in mind the current going from your battery to your alternator will only reflect what is being consumed.  Thus, if you have a 300000000000000A alternator, that's really more of a potential than actual output.  It will only produce that much if it's being used by the car.  So, if your current battery wire is handling the car's electrical consumption as is, then it will work with a high output alt as well.

On the other hand, if you're getting a high output, it means your old alt isn't keeping up, right?

Anyway, the point being your power wire should support what you're going to be using.  I've got about 1600W of audio equipment (max current draw of over 150A just for the amplifiers )  so my power wires are all 0 guage.  4 guage is cheap and esy to install in an engine bay, though, so If you're not doing stereo stuff (or even if you are up to a few hundred watts), get some of that.  Heck you can get stuff off ebay for next to nothing.  Don't worry too much about brand names; wire is wire.  Higher strand counts don't really affect current capacity much, it just makes it easier to bend and look prettier .  My recommended wiring config is 4-gu from the alt to the batt, 4-gu from the alternator bracket on the engine (engine ground) to the batt ground, and 4-gu from the body to the batt ground.  That'll give you VERY good charging, and enough capacity to support about all the accessories you may want to add, as long as you upgrade your battery power wire as needed.

Thanks for the information and advice.
I don't think I'm going to install a monster sound system but I will definatey look at upgrading some of the charging systems wire.
