Should be a 130 amp alternator.
Of course, 130 amps is 100% output at high RPMs and cool temps. Under the hood getting hot, that 130 amp alternator might be putting out a whole 30amps at idle..
I'd worry more about the engine RPMs being pulled down and the fact that the PCM (computer) should be able to hold the idle.
