its not letting me post the pic again but you can view it in the first post, wonder how much current those pennies can carry and what happens if the current goes over it...
Also what size fuse would you guys recommend. All my amps are drawing 190amp in total, with 4 ga and 0 ga wiring for the big 3. The wiring for the mentioned fuse is 4ga. If nobody replies I'll stick to the 300 amp fuse recommended before. IMHO it seems too high and defeat the purpose of a fuse.

how much current does the starter draw? thats what that 4awg wire is for. your system should be on it's own circuit, so it shouldn't be included in the math.

starter draws from the alt right? if it is then its stock..

UPDATE: I replaced that foolishness with an actual fuseholder and fuse (150amp). Car starts and works perfect,thanks for the help guys //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

*another note is that I found the penny fuse to be on the negative wire also!! man, do I even want to know what the person was thinking....
