can i use 2 gauge cable to run from the battery to the solenoid? most threads ive read said to use a lil bigger cable. i got 20 feet of 2 gauge for free thats why im asking !

if i cant use it for that purpose, can it be used for the 3g alternator upgrade and the grades for the battery relocation? 3g calls for 4g but it wouldnt hurt to use a lil bigger wire, right?

That's a big wire from the battery to the selenoid. That would be hard to attach. I would just use a 4 guage. 2 guage seems like overkill.

I would use the 2 guage for the battery relocation. I've got a 1 guage wire that I got for free that I'm using. I don't think the 4 guage is big enough for the power side of the battery relocation. You could use 4 guage to run a dedicated ground back from the block.
