cheapest higher amp alternator

I have a system in my car and my alternator is slowly dying. Just wondering what the cheapest route to go with a higher amp alternator is?

Re: cheapest higher amp alternator

300 is too much for me. I'm also looking for maybe a 160 or 180 am alternator. Trying to spend less than 200.

Has a 160amp alternator for the LT1 for 210...

You can also call up Ohio Generator, they make some real nice HO alts, but they're probably out of your price range.
