if a local shop is gonna be doing the install i think you should talk to them about buying the parts from them. they are gonna either dick you over with installation prices or try to persuade you to buy some of their equipment. do you know which shop your goin to? some shops like to carry only specific brands so you should really decide where you're bringing your car first. i know a couple good places if your in the north jersey area.

as for the electrical system. the stock alternator and battery will do fine for now. a high output alternator and an optima battery will be in order once the stockers go. one thing you definately wanna replace is the big 3. the big 3 are the battery to chassis, engine block to chassis, and the battery to alternator. upgrade those wires with some 2 gauge or some 1/0 gauge if you wanna be big dawg. innovativewiring.com has some pre-fabbed kits for unreasonably high prices.
