I would say 10-12 feet. I assume you're talking about the power wire??? What size of wire are you using??? I would recommend at least 4 gauge, 0 gauge might be somewhat of a pain to run, since it's so thick. How big of an alternator are you getting, and what brand??? I bought a 200 amp from Motor City Reman for my truck about 4 years ago, and it hasn't failed me yet. I'm also planning to upgrade my alternator on my LS, I might go with db electrical, a bit cheaper.
just ordered from db electrical their wiring kit has 6 feet so i doubled my order...thankyou my jl 1000.1 and 12 in w7 need more than the stock 110 amp.

you can have your stock alternator rewound for better output. check out www.mralternator.com
I purchased one from them years ago and sent mine back as a core. They rewind factory units. Never had a problem. My stock on my old car would put out about 88 amps at idle. The new unit put out 121 amps at idle. It was on a nissan altima.

FWIW, I have replaced my....
alternator and I was told that my '02 V-8 came from the factory with 135 amp unit. If you are talking about the 'battery cable' from the trunk to the engine compartment, I have always used OO welding cable for this run.
