Default C5 high output alternator advice

Hi
I've been installing more and more electrical accessories in my C5 and although I haven't been having any issues or problems, I was wondering if I should be replacing my factory alternator with a hi output alternator or do you think I'm fine with the factory delivered one?

If you thinking should get a different alternator, can you recommend one?
Maybe a vendor from the forum can help me with some advice and a part number with mfg info?

Feel free to reply or send me a PM

Thanks for your help
Bruce

I've had a few HO alternators and have just gone to my local electric shop and had mine rebuilt with increased output. Usually costs about $1/amp and its warrantied locally. Might be a good option for you if you can't find any online that suit your needs.
