WIRING QUESTIONS:

Ok so i have the battery mounted in the trunk with a huge cable going to the firewall for the solenoid...I also have a a large cable going toa junction box that splits into 6 positive 8 gauge wires going to relays on the passenger firewall..so i have ALOT of hot wire going to the front of the car.....

The question is can I run all my electric hots from the battery side of the solenoid so i can run much shorter "hots"

I also have a fused Painless switch panel.. Do i still need to run fuses/circuit breakers between the relay and the accessory.

What I am powering:

running items:
water pump
msd
starter
fuel pump
fan


Acces:
Lights
windows

yes and yes ...if im understanding you correctly

do you have any questions on what i have now....

do i need fuses/circuit breakers between the battery and the relay AND the relay to the access?

is 12/14 gauge wire enough to go from the relay to the access? or do i need a heavier gauge

ok , does any have a very very very very clear wiring plan for a racecar with barebones electrics.....

i am using the painless fused 8 switch panel...i have lots of wiring and circuit breakers AND/OR fuses
i just want clean and neat...

batt is in the truck solenoid is on firewall....msd is in the passenger floor area....ignition is a pushbutton on the swithc panel.....i have it all wired now and all works, but am not happy with how it looks,,,,it looks very jumbled....annd wonder if there is a nice clean way to do it.....any ideas

This stuff looks really nice. my dad and i used it on his nomad street rod it make for nice clean look http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/KeywordSearchCmd?storeId=10001&catalogId=10002&langId=-1&N=0&Ntk=all&Jnar=0&Ne=1%2B2%2B3%2B1147708&searchTerm=wire+sleeve

running it from the solenoid is fine from an electricity standpoint.
if you got your fused panel running all your items, no need for a fuse/breaker in between the fused panel and your power source.

regardless of what people seem to think fuses/breakers are there to protect the load, not the wire.
