Not sure about the LX's but in my last car- the alternator output was controlled by the ECU. That was a real PITA bucause I was running 3 10's and 4 amps, ended up with 3 farad caps, and an xtra deep cycle battery. Never could get it licked.
ANyway- the reason I bring this up- is my last car was a DCX, so maybe all you need is a reflash.
Then again I could be all wrong on this.

Yeah, what Chuckles said. the creepy part is going to be the computer. If you have a custom system you may be SOL. HAL has a lot of long tentacles snaking out everywhere. Fnky may be able to shed some light on this.

Page 2-1 of the 2006 Doge Charger/Magnum Police Upfitters Guide lists the amperage rating of the police vehicles alternator as 160A full output.
This is the same as non-police V8 and 3.5 V6 cars. It has a paragraph explaining how the computer controls things. When the battery for my camera (how ironic, eh?) is charged, I'll post a pic of that page.

How much "headroom" is in the stock system? In other words, how much current is being drawn, say, at night with all the lights, heat & rear defogger running?

From police outfitters guide
Sorry, I really need to get the scanner working but for now this will work:
How the computer modulates alternator output
