boost-buck 12v regulation for a PW-70a

Hey there.. i've got a few questions about switching regulators for all you power nuts out there.

i'm using one of those retarded power supplies that doesn't regulate the 12v line and i'd like my carputer to be able to a) survive a crank and b) run off the alternator

what i'm looking for is a high-current (5.8a or more) boost-buck 12v regulator that has an input voltage range wide enough to accomodate the cranking drop and the alternator voltage, something like 6v-15v.. it only needs to be able to boost while cranking, the rest of the time it's going to be bucking from the alternator or just leaving the battery power alone. if anyone knows what i could do here i'd love to hear about it
