[QUOTE="i2ain2thunder, post: 7342204, member: 631331"] I used Cadence 0gauge for my Big3 you can get 7.5feet which should be all you need off evilbay for like 15$ shipped, decent quality wire too. I have a 2.2L Ecotech in my 04 Cavalier which I think is maybe the same engine as the Cobalt? Just guessing. If thats the case you'll have at least a 105 amp alternator. I'm running more than twice the power you have right now off all stock, I have dimming issues and I'm probally starving the amps a little bit, but I am not experiencing any major issues. New Battery on the way and I'll get a HO alt later, but I'd say for what you're running you should be just fine with no dimming even off stock with a Big3 upgrade to your wiring like these guys are saying. Oh also you might have to go from under the car to get to the + charge bolt on the alternator (it was a huge pain for me) but the - runs were simple. [/QUOTE]
