stock alt will be fine. 4awg from front batt will do fine. the big 3 is always a good idea. but you wont need any upgrades.

To be honest, that's the first time I've heard of the big 3. Just looked that up and will probably do that tomorrow. Can you describe how much change I could see in charge?

in charge? maybe .2
its more for current flow. its like if you have that 4awg power and ground for your amps but only a 12awg from alt to batt then you just cant put as much power into the batt as you can take out of it. so if you do the big 3 itll help with the flow of current, charge your batt better. thatll lead to less voltage drops. so while your idle charge might look the same, your voltage under load wont drop as far.
