I've measured the current on each circuit of my car. These cars hardly use any juice at all when running. When I'm "cruising" down the interstate during the day, none of my fans are running, my lights are all off, and the total amperage drain on the system is less than four amps. That's like a 60 watt light bulb. That's it. In town, in hot weather, only my puller fan runs -- so my total running draw is under twenty amps. Unless someone has monster-killing fans, a huge stereo, heavy duty electric fuel pumps coupled to a microwave oven in the trunk, you barely need an alternator at all.
