wire size for high amp alternator

that's the chart, in a different format....but i don't agree with it.
yes, using too small of a wire will result in a drop, but that has nothing to do with their chart.

the fine-stranded wire is great if you have sharp bends.....it's more flexible, but, like in my case, there were no bsharp turns, so fewer, larger strands work better, as there are fewer I2R losses.....
some co-workers and I have been debating this, and feel that there really is no significant gain in using fine OR coarse wire of the same gauge if there are no sharp bends.

if i remember correctly, mine is THHN 19-conductor 8 AWG wire.....and with the battery disconnected (after starting), at full electrical load, i still have 13.5-14 volts at the front of the car, after the alt runs to the cutoff switch and BACk to the front via the 2 GA battery cable.
