Alternator to battery wire upgrade

Is there anybody that has done this that can give me pointers?

I would like to do this soon but I need to make sure I know everything that I need to first, and it looks like this wire might be difficult to get to...

I think I've seen the wire, but I don't want to mess anything up. Anyone else know?

LudlamTheory is an unknown quantity at this point
it runs from the alt, under the black cover by the spark plug coils, and through a bundle of wires to the battery. i wont change it till i get a new alternator

what size power wire do you have from your battery though?

Think about the bottleneck that creates.

Stock wires are always too thin. But I've heard that you can't run any thicker than 4gauge wire or it won't have enough resistance.
