You can always get your current one upgraded for more amps. I know a good place in CA that turned my amp from 100 to 180. The guy is an ex USAC finalist and now makes alternators for limo stretches. All Image Dynamics demo cars have alternators done by him. I have his number somewhere.

There are a lot of different options, it just depends on what you want to do. You could get you factory alt. rewound or just buy a new one. Companies like Stinger make them also, Im sure there are alternator shops in MD, or even a Tweeter could do it if you dont want to ship it.
