I recommend getting Alumapro capacitor. They have like 15 farad versions for about $500. Some old soviet space technology. Your amps will hit like mad.

For highest AMP OEM laternator, get a Canadian H-6 AT alternator.

No, sorry.

Typically, the larger the engine, the higher the amps.
Also, AT cars have higher amp alternators due to a lower idle.
And, Canadian cars have higher amp alternator due to daytime running lights.

Not sure if US H-6 equipped cars have DRL.

The above is not a fact, so double check. Thats just common knowledge about alternators.

An Alumapro CAP5 (5 farad) will do the job and its about 1/2 the price . By the way, these are used by a ton of competitors and are very well made. They also install much better than conventional cylindrical type capacitors.
