3rd Generation Waste of time/money?

Came across this listing on ebay, recently I've been having problems with my electrical so i decided to upgrade my terminals, connecters and wiring.

I'm also purchasing a high output alternator...

Anyone know if this will help out the electrical system or have any benefits?

EDIT:

I also ordered parts to do the "Big 3" upgrade on my wiring as well..

Cool, thats good to know. Yea I may just pick some up and do it. It seems pretty straight forward.

It seemed ok until i read the part about HP gains, and I was thinking to myself this might be like one of those gain instant super duper HP things that dont work, but my main concern was the electrical and I couldnt see why doing this shouldnt help out the electrical.

Thanks =)
