So, my current alternator is failing and I need a new one. There are 3 options, 90a, 115a, and 150a.
Which should i get if i drive my car aggressively and redline often?
Car is a stock 1995 c36 amg.

It's not bouncing off the limiter, i'm saying that i floor it.
Also, burnouts are fun especially in the rain.
just get the same amperage as what was there in the first place

You only really need to upgrade the alternator if it's not giving you enough juice in the first place. A guy I knew put a huge amp in his riced out eclipse, his car would die at idle because there wasn't enough electricity to make spark and power the amp.

What you said makes no sense. It likely died at idle because the mechanical resistance is larger on a higher amperage alternator and his shitbox engine didn't have enough torque at idle RPM to spin it.

Ok, 90a was original so i'll get that.
