I am not using the black power wires because during my motor swap I gutted my wiring harnesses. (EGR connectors, a/c connectors, engine bay light connector, wiper fluid reservoir connector, air bag connectors, low coolant light connector, a/c WOT solenoid, etc.).

The PA Performance alternators put out higher amperage at lower RPM's than the OEM 130 amp alternators. There is a difference between the two. Not to mention their customer service is pretty darn good.

i run the same thing as Tony71502. except for that i made my own power wire out of 2g fine woven winch cable. but the kit they sell will work just as well. the customer service is good too. but one of the diodes went out in it and i kept draining my battery. but that was jus probly a freak thing cause i had the diodes changed and havent had a problem since.
