[QUOTE="GCassman, post: 7864526, member: 644448"] Out of curiosity, have you upgraded both the positive and ground sides of the battery and alternator with the 0 gauge? In order to minimize voltage dropping in your system, you need to have both sides of the circuit maximized. Voltage dropping is either caused by not enough current capacity from the alternator/battery or from too much resistance in your power system. The voltage will drop at the weakest link in the power system whether that is the cables, connections or power source. I typically will run 0 gauge from the alternator positive to the battery positive, alternator case to the battery ground and then both alternator case and battery ground to the frame before upgrading the rest of the wiring. That way I ensure that I'm getting the maximum power from the car. If the lights dim after that, then I know I need a bigger alternator.
