With a 200 amp alternator you would leave yourself room for 4 additional liters per minute at 15 amps per liter. Make sure you run the recommended size of wire to your new alternator so that you can take advantage of the new power. Unfortunately you won't be able to make enough gas to run on hho alone from what I know is possible.
