84' Cutlass pro touring build

I like where this car is going. Just a thought is... If you add a master disconnect switch on your negative battery cable. It would kill all power to the car. You will still have the same amount of positive battery cable no matter where you put the star seliniod. Keep up the good work!

I'm not looking to have a disconnect switch that I'd have to open or close for security reasons, rather, a safer way to have battery mounted in trunk for performance and cleaning up engine bay. If you switched negative battery then while driving that long hot lead going to the starter is still hot. You can install a circuit breaker at battery to help with this (and still might do that) but I feel this is safer. JMHO

Yep, I'm adding a 150 amp breaker by the battery...that way if there is a spike it'll kick the breaker instead of smoking the car.
 
Should be plenty. Northernregal and RKTPWRD are running the same amp breaker with no issues and same amount of electronics or more.
Cool.... I know there are many variables... Engine size and compression being the most important.... I think !?
