Wondering what the difference would be with a 36 amp alternator going to a 100 amp alternator.

I don't think it would matter what the maximum amps of an alternator is, what robs horsepower is the draw on the alternator at any given time. If you have an electric fan drawing 15 amps, it's still only a 15 amp draw regardless of the max output of the alternator.
