i high output will pull less HP from the engine, as long as your not pulling high amps, but if your car electronics are stock you will gain a little hp

130amp 3G is plenty and can be picked up relatively cheap if you look around.

do a search for " 3G alternator swap "
that will give you all the info needed. its easy and takes about 1-2hrs to do
including running power cable feeds and eveything.


Here, straight from the "Tech Artcls" section at top of forum section

locate fuse where ever is handy

go to Circuit City back in the car radio dept., they sell high amp in-line fuses for stereo amps.
get a 120amp in-line fuse with holder case.
