It's called the big 3 upgrade, and is on tons of forums, but since I am the greatest person you have ever met I shall show you.

thanks,

after reading the Big3 i am still confusted on how to actually remove/install the
ALTERNATOR POWER OUTPUT BATTERY CABLE from the alternator itself. From the pic on that ebay action the cable appears to be crimped on both sides, but the wire the goes into my alternator looks like it has a plug??

Under the rubber "plug" there should be a bolt, I know there is on the starter, and I know the ground on the alt is bolts, there should be a bolt for the alt as well.

Its just wire man, go to the stereo shop/hardware store, get some 0 gauge wire, and get the accesories you need to make it work.

im not talking about the wire i have wire, im talking about the connection to the alternator. It appear to be connected by a plug, do i just splice into it and connect that way? what did you guys who have done the big3 do? no one mentions anything about that connection in my search??
