Just want to say I love the content you guys put out. Nothing like watching you guys wrench on your 3v on a sunday morning while in my garage! Please continue with the content as theres not alot of it on youtube!
4 awg? No hot start issues with that? I used 1 awg. I even used 1 awg from my distribution block to the starter just to be sure i wouldn't have issues. There's a perfect ground solution right by your circuit breaker. you even have a bolt in the threaded hole I used.
Haven't had any issues yet. We have not yet run in super hot conditions but we have done a couple events with many consecutive starts and haven't had any issues. Fingers crossed. I think people often err on the side of caution when it comes to these types of things but the kit we bought came with 4 awg cable so that's what we went with. You are right that there are many solid grounding locations in the rear that don't require you to run through a sheetmetal panel and we should have done that but we like how this turned out.
@@morrismartinracing Oh, people go way overboard with 1/0, 2/0 or even 4/0. 4 awg is probably ok for a race car. for a street car i'd do 2 awg minimum and keep the ground as short as possible. I even added a second ground off the starter to the frame rail, but that's also overkill. You can't have too many grounds going to the motor imo. I think dodge chargers come stock with 4 awg or 2 awg wire to the trunk mounted battery.
