Which alt to buy?

[B_Master_Flash 10+ year member]

I just found out about 2 HO alternators I can get and I can't decide which one to buy. I just learned that the alternator from the Toyota Highlander fits my car, and they make an upgraded 130 amp alt for it, I can get one for about $150 at autozone. I also learned that Iraggi alternators makes one for my car, which makes 180 amps, and would cost me $300 shipped (with the group buy). My current alternator makes less than 90 amps, so it will be a good increase either way, and I'm sure my BX1500D would be fine w/ just the 130, but with the 180 I have lots of room to upgrade. I have no problem dropping $150 right now, but $300 is streching it (although I can afford it) What do you guys think?

excessive amperage is having a group buy over at termpro.com forums, see if nathan makes an alt for your car. his prices are usually lower than iraggi's.
