I have a 78 amp on my van with a single belt. Under full charge, the belt slips and squeals a bit, unless the belt is like new and nice and tight.
I have a 94 on my Jeep, which slips a single belt regardless of what I do under max load (ie, when using a winch). I went to a double pulley system for that set up.
Frankly, unless you are using an electric winch or have mondo driving/flood lights, a 94 is perfectly adequate.

Its only a 1 pulley, but i dont understand how that matters. Do you mean that alternators with more amps are harder to turn?
