Careful getting a new alternator with internal regulator if you are planning to get AGM batteries. The AGMs need slightly different charge profiles to ensure maximum longevity. The charge profile of the internal regulator won't be able to be changed. Also the internal reg won't be able to be programmed to limit the current. So more amps might not be a good thing depending on your AHr capacity. 25% for wet, 30% for gel, 40% for AGM. You would need at least 400AHrs of battery capacity to match a 100 amp alternator.
