A high output alt doesn't force the electrical system to use more current. The system pulls the current it needs. That's how electricity works.
A factory ford solenoid setup isn't a bandaid. Using 2 solenoids on a system designed for one solenoid is a bandaid.
The point is to try and understand what is happening, why, and do things for a reason. This approach is generally not used.
