lt1 voltage drop above 3800 rpm, new alternator...help

well here goes another fantastic problem. 94 lt1, new alternator, new belt, 4 gauge charging wire from alternator to battery

if i rev the car in neutral or get on it in any gear once it gets to 3800+ rpm the check gauges light starts flickering on, volt gauge goes down towards red, gauge lights dim and flicker, and headlights dim and flicker a little. that was all at first, and it was extremely intermittent, like once a week. now, its becoming more regular, and also just going down the road it started acting up at 50 mph cruising at 2k rpm. its making me nervous as i dont want to get stuck somewhere with my daughter in the car.

anyone have any tips or clues as to what this may be? this is the second new alternator in 2 months (autozone duralast gold, first one warranty upgrade from a reman that smoked in a week). thanks in advance
