Okay so looks like I'll get a 150 fuse for under the hood. What kind of fuse is it? And about how much would it be?

probably an ANL fuse. Fuse and holder in a shop $20+ ebay or amazon $10ish

i wouldn't go higher than 150 on 4 gauge and that's giving that it's OFC.

^^This^^ That should be the Max for 4ga wiring,any higher, and the jacket could possibly melt away,exposing the wire ,creating a possible fire?/damage.Ill see if I can find the Fusing Charts.I had at one time

80 amp largest fuse in cheaper kits are going to be like an AGU/Bulb,any larger, and the better fuse to use is an ANL

if he is using an 80 that means he is going to need a new fuse holder for ANL over glass tube
