8 ga wire was added between th alternator output to the battery to allow for additional current and 18 ga between the battery to the fan motor. I’m not an electrical engineer and above wiring upgrades were replication of what Marc does when he upped alternator amperage on another WAZOO Z.
Thicker wire alone, may not have much effect.
