Stock on the 2.5 = 100 amps
Stock on the 3.2 = 110 amps

You'll need a sub-battery. I have the factory battery under the hood and an Optima Red Top in the trunk just for my audio.....no more dimming, idle drop,etc.
I have a 4 gauge wire from front battery (+) to the subbattery. Subbattery grounded to the body in the trunk.
