i think stock is 105 amp...
The only problem u may have is when u turn on your headlights/heater..
least u could do is put it on and see how it holds up when u run everything...
(turn on high beams, anythign electical you can think of and see how it holds up)
afterall, changing your alt is a 2 min job.

I know my stock 88 one was a 105 amp. I would get more amps than that if I was you. If I turn on my headlights, radio, heater, and defroster my volts will be showing about 10. Its always done that. I have never worried about it.

Yea Id stick with the 105 amp one too. It is the upgrade alt for my V6 and was only like $60 at autozone. Only problem i had was I had to spin the back case.
