200 amps X 13.8 Volts is 2,760 watts! My god man who are you trying to kill with
that thing?
Many good alternator shops can build you a high amperage alternator for a lot less
than 500.00.
I am also afraid that that much amperage may be too much for factory wiring to
handle. Also does anybody know if the voltage regulator is in the ECM. If so, Be
VERY careful. Also you probably need dual batteries and a isolator that can handle
the power. And remember when you ask a alternator to deliver that much power it
will require a LOT of horsepower from your engine to turn it.
