Default Alternator ???

Hey Guys.. I'm running alot of electrical power and my optima battery is under alot of stress. The factory LS1 alternator is starting to give out on me. Can anyone tell me where the best place to purchase a good amp alternator? Thank You !!!

I've got a 1,000 watt amp, 12-inch woofer and Matts all around and my set-up below.

I can crank my stereo, sit and idle for as long as I want, A/C blasting on full with my headlights on.....and my PepBoys Pro-Start OEM alternator is perfect, doesn't drop off AT ALL. $149, lifetime warranty. And dozens of people I know around here all use them for their cars too. Not a single negative thing has been said about them, around here anyway.

Wow! That sounds like a hell of a deal! I think I bought mine online and it was about the same price but did not come with that awesome warranty.
