SO IF YOUR ENGINE IS HOT AT THE NORMAL TEMP YOU WILL GET 13.75 VOLTS +/- .25VOLTS .

The alternator size does not effect the voltage generated...this is once again controlled by the internal alternator regulator....a 105 amp or 400amp alternator on your vehicle will output the same VOLTS ....
Yeah what I meant was higher amp output the volts should be the same. Im saying that my alternator should put out more amps at idle than stock, especially with my battery not being fully charged due to the problem.
