Default Battery Cables....

What amp cable should be used for the main power cable from the battery? It goes to a power distribution block which splits for starter and main power supply.

Was looking at this: 291002622935 (eBay item) be strong enough?

Thanks,
Matt

That says it's rated at 170 Amp so it should be OK. Make sure the distribution block is up to that current as well though. The starter motor is the biggest current draw on the car at about 90 Amp. I guess you'll be fitting the alternator main feed to the distribution block as well.
