Stock alternator amp size

Not really. The current craw from the electronic transmission is also more so it evens out. It would be an advantage to install the auto alternator on the manual if they're interchangeable though.

How powerful is "powerful"? A cap should be all you need and is usually a cheaper option then upgrading the alternator. Caps are usually a better option functionality wise too as they deal with the power spikes better. Until this car I was running a bit over 4000watts with just 2x 1-farad caps (2200watts with a single 1-farad cap) without any kind of issues (one car had as small as a 80 amp alternator and never had an issue). Now the subs just sit in the closet and I don't think I'll ever put them in another car of mine.

Something isn't running right if that's the case. The factory alternator should be able to handle that kinda power without the help of a cap even.
