And running heavier gauge wire is ALWAYS a good idea when your talking about transfering power heh. I've got 4 gauge wiring from my battery to starter, ground, and soon my alt.
It was late when I checked this stuff. I don't recall which was which honestly! :rolleyes:

I will check again tonight and re-post the #'s!
