Putting this here for my reference:

4awg is good for 135amps
2awg is good for 181amps
1/0awg is good for 245amps

Power rating on my stock style alternator is 160amps

Power rating for my stock style starter is 1.35kW
Ohms law = 1000xpower(kw)/volts(12)=amps
1.35kW = 112 amps

starter could see 250amps under load

Thanks cuz.
