The shop foreman at the starter and alternator shop that I work for (whose opinion I trust and respect) says most people who get high amp units built really dont need them. How often will you be driving at night with all of the lights on? Watch the voltmeter, it will tell you if you really need to upgrade. If see the needle dropping below 12.5 occasionally you will probably appreciate the difference a high amp unit makes. By the way I can upgrade my factory unit to 120 amps for essentially free but the 90 amp does fine even with stuff plugged in the inverter.
