I also ran a 6 gauge wire from the alternator to the battery and connected the other main system feed wires to it with a large crimp terminal in the stock junction location over behind the driver side headlight.

Really like your setup! Was thinking of doing something similar. Also I want to upgrade my alternator to a 12si then wire 6 gauge to the battery just like you did. I typically do that in my ford just learning the chevy ways.
