As much as you can afford. You're going to need what 600 amps of current? You need at least 4 runs of 1/0. You need several alts and a bracket to hold them. You need several batts. I'd say at least 4 group 31's and buss bars.

And airbags to hold the weight

Ah crap i can only fit one alt possibly 2 im puttin it in a 95 grand prix with a 3.1

well i dont think several is really neccesary, two would nearly most deffinetley do it

This is all just an opinion but I would run a pair of batteries per amp. Something like 4 stinger spv70's total in the back and an optima type battery up front. Dual runs of 1/0 would probably be enough for you but the more the merrier.

Alt wise you will def need an upgraded one but dual alt? I dont know a lot about them so im not much help there. Hell im still running my stock alt with 3k rms, however I have had a pair of optimas in my car since day one. Next week I am putting a pair of stinger spv35's under my hood and a 70 in the rear

Ya definatly wont be able to do 2 alts but stock alts were 105 amp And in my daily im running 2k rms at the moment and my lights dont dim too too bad, although i just have 4 gauge throughout and stock batt. So even an upgrade to a 250 amp alt will be amazing maybe add an extra 4 kinetik powercells in the trunk couple busbars i should be ok? Oh and of course dual runs of 1/0 throughout.. And if i busbar the batts can i charge them that way? Or do i have to charge them seperatley? Or in series??
