Default New High Performance Alternator. (Where to buy)

So I'm looking for a new alternator and like anything that I replace on my car I try to find something just a little better. Doing some searching on these forums I found going to a 160A or even 200A alternator to be an easy upgrade.

So my question is where can I find these 160A and 200A alternators besides e-bay? Is this something I could walk into napa with a part # and get? or special order only?

Anyone ideas where to find this part besides e-bay?

irragi alternators based in texas had one of his alternators on the gtp it was a 300 150 at idle I had two 15's in a wall behind my seats he has to have one of the best alternators ever. They might be pricey but well worth it.
