Default Big 3 pre-made wire package website?

I found a website about a month or two ago that sold big 3 wire packages for the fbody and I think he does some other cars too. Had one set for stock alternators and another for high output ones. I believe it was $90. But for the life of me I CAN'T remember the name of the website and google searching has got me no where...I don't believe he is a sponsor so if anyone knows what I am talking about or somewhere that has the same thing could you PM me with a link? This is driving me nuts. I want to do this because I'm trying to get an underdrive pulley but as it is my dash lights flicker when I turn my system up (headlights stay same brightness though).

I know everyone is going to tell me to just do it myself but I'm not great with wiring and the one he did is perfect, really high quality wiring, connectors, and insulation.

Guys, it sounds like all you really need is a list of materials. Everything needed can be found at a typical auto parts store.

2x battery side post accessory lugs
1x 55" red 4AWG wire (alt to batt)
and a couple lengths of copper braid or 4AWG black

If anyone knows the lengths on the ground wires, post it up. I understand the desire to buy everything in advance before starting a project, but 4AWG can be bought in bulk and terminated with crimp ends quite easily.

Truth! You can do it for way cheaper if you buy the wire and ring terminals. Hell, ill make the kits for 70 shipped

I am going to do them for about $30.00-$35.00 but I need to lengths that work for everyone as this is what determines cost. I have plenty of 2 and 0 ga cable that is right for doing this mod, just let me know what lengths work best for you guys and I will go ahead and put it on the site.

Wow, $95 for the LS1! I'm glad I made mine myself. It seems like a good upgrade package, but making your own is easy!
IMO, if you take the measurements yourself, you can then go to a good local car audio shop buy the lengths of cable and end connectors you need they'll probably cut the cables to your lengths and install the end connectors for free.

Thats just where I bought my O2 extensions and opti harness so I had them saved. I wouldn't pay that much for the cables when, like many have said, it's cheaper to make yourself.

Kee, if you decide to make a kit for cheaper I would rather buy one from you instead.

Expensive, but I used these and I was very happy with them. They fit perfectly, and they look and feel like very high quality pieces. I definitely couldn't see crimping the side-post terminals myself with that much wire thickness.
