I think many are using high amp alternators (I know Prestige does)
They slap it in just as Blas posted. But, if you ask them, they will likely tell you: 1) a voltmeter is safer than an ammeter; 2) an ammeter looks cooler than a voltmeter; 3) if you want cool, with a modicum of safety, go with an ammeter that has been shunted.; 4) if you want the most safety, go with a car other than a Cobra. And they will probably say it in that order.
