Thanks for the input.
I have found several ho alternator companies that sell 200 amp alts for 2-300 dollars. I'm currently running 1.5 farad cap and the going rate for optima batteries are $160+. when you add batteries all you are doing is extending play time with the car off and you are adding stress to the alternator
