It's a car with 4 wheels, right?
That's about how many suggestions we could give you... How about a hint as to what kind of car it is, and how much power you have in your system?

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

How much money are you willing to spend. You can try altornatorparts.com, thats where I got mine and they have one for the 3.1 Malibu. It puts out 220 amps cold and 170 amps hot.

Your amps might be rated for 3000 watts, but I would question whether or not you are actually getting that. At least until you upgrade the big 3 and get another alernator. Assuming 14.4 volts with the car on, you would have to produce 208 amps to achieve 3000 watts. Which you might get for a second, till your stored power is used, and your alternator is left with providing it again.
Remember, amps X volts = watts.
