What type of power can this electrical setup support?

Redtop under the hood, big 3, 1/0 back to a xs power 3100. Right now I have an AQ2200d and it handles it just fine. How much bigger can I go safely? I am only in my car 10-15 minutes per day and play it fairly hard during that period. Otherwise I would only be used for comps.

Alternator size? I'd say if you ran a trickle charger once a week or two then you'd be okay with up to 3k. When you run hard the whole time you drive it and never give your batteries a chance to charge is when you run into problems.
