I'm taking my car in later this week to get the alternator upgraded to an Ohio Generator unit. I am going to ask the installer to re-ground the battery and alternator w/4 gauge wires. I will also have the battery and alt connected w/a 1/0 gauge wire. I am supplying the installer w/Stinger dual 4gauge & 1/0 gauge battery clamps as well as 2-4gauge ground terminals.
The system will connect like this: Positive terminal: 1 4gauge to trunk for amps(not adding yet) 1 4gauge to connect my original positive battery cable 1 1/0 gauge to connect to my alternator Negative terminal: 1 4 gauge to ground 1 1/0 gauge to connect to battery
If there is anything that I am missing or doing incorrectly, please let me know. I am asking for a competition install, wire looms, etc. what else should I add or request for this part of my installation? thanks--

But I've heard that there is a metal grounding strap that connects your engine to the body of the car... This could probably be upgraded as well...
but once again..i think i read this somewhere..not sure on that....
Good luck.
