I had a Crown Vic with the PI package (I believe it had a 170 amp alt, and the regular CV's had around 130) and I had a system with 2 solo-baric s15d's in it, added an extra battery in the trunk and the lights never dimmed or flickered.

myth.
you're not going to damage anything in the car by using a larger alternator.
All you're doing is increasing the peak possible current supply, not the voltage rails.
The only way you'll fry anything is by doing a half-assed install job.

my stock altima will.....its only got 186000 miles on it but i have an aftermarket air filter on it and so it had 150 hp new, so 186000 miles and a new air filter later its got like 175 hp, then the muffler fell off which opened up the exhaust so i got like a 200 hp altima, plus its a 5 speed tranny so its even faster......
