[QUOTE="Chriszle, post: 7277292, member: 629944"] I realize in most cases that running 1/0 or better is the way to go when upgrading the big 3. But guys, he has an 80 amp alternator. 4 gauge wire can carry up to 250 amps of current for 4-5 feet easilly. So realistically he could save some money buy upgrading with 4 gauage instead of 1/0. But, since a lot of you might hate on me for this post, he can also leave the stock runs of wire in place when he upgrades, and that will provide more then enough, even if he upgrades his system down the road.
