    I saw that one but that is way way too expensive there are others that are a little bit cheaper

    You could adapt a CS144 that puts out 140 amps. I would also suggest adding some larger wires also, Like using a #2 wire for the battery positive to the relay. Add a #4 ground wire from the alternator housing to the battery negative. The main charging wire, from the alternator to the relay has a fusible link wire in case it shorts out, so you could put two of them for the extra alternator output. The wiring is a bit different and a new plug will be needed so look that up.
