To those that have done the BIG 3 before...

What kind of voltage increase did you get from doing it? Im curious to know how big of an upgrade it is. Reason is im running a current setup that demands as much voltage as possible but I have a stock alternator right now. Im waiting for Iraggi to reply to me so I can place my order and I was going to do the Big 3 when I got the new alt.

What kind of increase in V did you guys get after doing it?

Same here. Just want to see whats the average increase in V.

mainly its for current draw purposes, it opens up a lot //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif.

yeah, about .5 here too. Don't expect it to eliminate all elec probs you are having, you will still see a little light dimming depending on how much and what type of power you are running.

but overall, I see a big improvement. Mainly when I am sitting at a redlight and crank it my car doesn't almost stall like it use to. It would come close to stalling and you could see the rpms just drop. now its not a problem.

and welding wire does just as good as any other 0guage correct?

welding wire is the better choice. ;-)

.5 would be nice for me. My voltage just drops like a rock. In the morning it was 13.9-14.0. At school ~15minutes later it is around 13.4. I'm not even pushing my SE10 hard which I know causes my voltage to drop. It's kinda fun to play G-Shit, HRD, Trap House, etc and watch it drop...kinda fun...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

Only running a single 601.1 on 4awg on my stock 80A alt. I have 1/0 and 1/0awg ring terminals to do the big three, but I have to jack my car up and I don't have any jacks cuz my alt is on the bottom of my motor.

Make sure you got a good battery too. It really wont up the voltage that much, but it makes a cleaner path for the current to flow.....

I do not think I gained anything, then again i didnt do it for higher voltage but lierk stated before.. current
