Default Alternator problems

*posted here because of higher traffic*

I've been having trouble with a car i've been working on, it's a 1998 T/a for some reason, the alternator keeps failing after some wot runs, i replaced one yesterday and went for some wot runs to do some tuning, and the alternator took a dump, can you guys lead me in the right direction? help me find this gremlin.

everything is fine, i guess i should say that the car is a h/c car making over 400hp, seems that the alternator burns out after some wot runs? could it be overcharging itself and it burns itself out?
