Welcome aboard americansvt!

Unless you have a hugh stereo and some LCD screens in your car, I can't see why the 130 AMP should do the trick. If you don't have any ICEE in your ride, that can only mean one of two things...

1) You have been buying some seriously crappy alt from somewhere

2) You need to check you battery cables very closely. They could be fraded somewhere causing a short to ground. Or you have a bad/loose connection on the cables or the alt itself.
