What would be the advantage?

To increase the output of the battery and alternator

It doesn't increase it..... only let's it flow better for what is already there... i knew what you meant by your statement but just clarifying for those that might get the wrong idea that a bigger wire can increase what the alternator can physically put out....

Yea that's what I meant. The larger wire decrease the resistance in the system letting it flow better. The advantage is to make your headlights better and other electronics

Well power cable to alt is installed, with no fuse. Before the mod my capacitor would read 13.5 to 13.8,with grounds alone it read 14.2 now with power to alt it reads 14.4. Any1 doing this in have measurements and every bolt and study are a different size. I had to drill out every lug to a bigger size

I did the big three mod, also added the power wire from alternator to battery without a fuse... No problems as of yet. I did wrap the wire in some extra red split loom i had lying around.

300A fuse wouldn't be pointless IMO....Cheap ($4-$5 for an ANL) protection against a short
