anyone ever done the "big 3", ive heard of it, and i think i know what it is

battery to chassis wire
alternator to battery
chassis to engine

what size wire would i use? 0/1 gauge? stock looks like about 8 gauge. also, do i tear the old stuff out for the new stuff, or add on? i read somthing saying you should just add on, but couldn't that creat a ground loop?

and you have to fuse the wire going from the alternator to the battery? does the stock wire have a fuse? what happens when people replace the 95 amp alt with a 160amp alt, ive never heard of the stock fuse blowing.

lastly, where are all these connections? id save me some time crawling under my car, its already a pain to jack it up, i have to have someone lift the car as i slide the jack under.....damn springtechs!

thanks for any input!
