maybe a slighty different sized belt if the pulley is much different than the stock one

i am planning on getting an alt from excessiveamperage.com the alt will put out a minimum of 200 amps but no more than 215 amps and cuts on at 900rpm. sorry for so many questions, i just hear a lot of people who say...."...people install these high output alts then things start going wrong because they don't know what they are doing....."

so basically i just need to BIG 3 it w/ 0 gauge and then drop the new alt in?
