I suggest it is a 145Amp alternator. Go to the above link, scroll down to the topic NOTES and then read #4 in that topic.
I thought the alternator on my C5 was a 110A unit based on the RPO list on the inside of the glove box door and RPO # K63 (110Amp Generator). When I pulled the alternator off the car it had a sticker facing the engine
from Valeo stating 145Amp. So RPO codes are NOT always correct.

The only reason I ask is because if it was 110 I would like to upgrade to the 1:45 because I have a nitrous bottle heater which draws a lot of amps and watts and it brings my juice down in the battery pretty good
