    Look locally for a rebuild shop, they can usually up the amperage.
    Maybe ask an audio shop??

    Is the Chevy PPV alternator a direct fit or will it take custom fabrication?

    I'd trust teh PPV swap more than some aftermarket one - reasoning. our alternator has a field affect sense circuit such that the field in the generator portaion if controlled by the BCM based on the car's need.

    if you get too far out of it's expected range it might fault out and throw an error code.

    there might also be one for a GM truck that would work - something like the alternator for the diesel 2500 or such.

    but I have to ask the other question: why and what do you need more amperage for?

    I got this from Singer Alternators...

    I can upgrade this alternator to a 250A version from the original MITS style platform for $489 as a plug and play design or any of the denso hairpin style models can interchange.*

    I have any of these options as a bolt in design for your application (these units will require a pcm bypass but will perform better this way. This would consist of a one wire regulator design or ignition turn on -cold 14.8V voltage set point).*

    MDL * * * * * * * *PRICE * * * * * *IDLE OUTPUT *

    180A * * * * * * * $489 * * * * * * * 150A * (200A peak)
    240A * * * * * * * $529 * * * * * * * 160A * (260A peak)
    275A * * * * * * * $559 * * * * * * * 170A * (310A peak) * * * * * **
    320A * * * * * * * $589 * * * * * * * 180A * (340A peak)

    All units come w/ a lifetime warranty that covers any repair labor (parts are at company cost) You can add a powder coating option on any order for an additional $48.

    Mechman builds and sells nearly any alternator you could ever need. Great group of people to deal with as well that really know their stuff. Give them a call even if it's just for pricing and let them know what you're looking for. They will be able to get you what you need.
