With the new elec reg that looks oe you dont need to cut or change wires.My kids has been in for at least 10 years and charges like a new car.The race reg was meant for that application.Not street.If they wanted a constant charge they could have built it that way and probally would be cheaper.Battery only wants so much charge.Thats why the reg shuts down when its charged fully.Unless you only drive a few miles sooner or later it will shorten the battery.I run 1 gauge cables.Ive seen a lot of older cars that have corossion in the cables that you cant see that cause hard cranking.Rocky
