Default 100 Amp alternator

Ok, if I move from my standard alternator to a 100 Amp version, do I need to change the voltage regulator? Seems like I would.

The new one will probably have an int regulator built in unless you specifically buy an ext reg one.

Probably have to rewire to bypass the remote reg and change alt plugs since the plugs are diff for the two.
