Geez, 140A isn't enough? Most of the time, the car's loads won't tax even that. What are you trying to do?

I think I can build a 240 amp one for those, but it would not be cheap.
But for most things the stock one would be plenty.

A very good and loud stereo will easily eat up 200A . My sub pulls 200A by its self. 50A for my mid bass, and 100A for my woofer and tweets. But I have a second batt and dual 5F caps to help even out the Amp draw.

You can check out US Alternators. They built me a 330amp large case hairpin to my spec with clutched pulley (many HO alt companies use solid underdrive pulleys) and optimized regulator voltage that changes based on temperature. (ie +15v in sub-freezing and 14.4v in high summer temps.)
This was for my ALH golf, so I have no clue for your vehicle, but of all companies I contacted (Mechman, Singer, JS, etc) only US was able to build what I wanted.
Good luck with your HO journey. It is tricky to find a builder....
