how many amps for stock alternator?

as the subject asks, how many amps does a stock alternator from a 94 lt1 put out?? will an alt. with a 124 amp discharge be okay on an engine without aftermarket audio equipment?

I believe '93 was 122 amp, and '94-up is 140 amp. There are alot of electronics in our cars, so I wouldn't go with any less than what the car came with stock.

I would say that since you have a aftermarket stereo that I would definately go larger than the stock one was equipped with. Since stock is 14 amps I would definately go larger just to be safe.

I believe you can find a 200 amp alternator from Powermaster (I believe Summit Racing carries them). I had mine rebuilt (220 amp) locally.
