The car is going to be killer (like all your builds). Was wondering if you run a remote solenoid in the trunk or a Mega fuse to protect the heavy gauge wire running to the front of the car/starter??

I run a master battery disconnect in the trunks next to the battery. I’ve never fused the large power cable from the battery to the front of the car. In practice it would be a good idea. Not sure of the best way to do it.

Mark,

Something like this might be very easy to install.

Mark, do you use a remote solenoid in the trunk? Also what route did you use to run your positive cable to the front?

Do you know what the airflow/cfm rating on that CTS-V fan might be?

Looking at laying down a rad in the nose so a lot of pull would be beneficial. Maybe even make a little downforce...

GM rates their fans in watts, and the fan that Mark is using is 850watts. It wouldn't surprise me if it was over 6000cfm.

To pop the deck lid I use a Year One trunk popper. I have tried other ones and they don’t have enough power to do it.

On the main positive battery cable it runs inside the car. The battery is in the trunk and the cable runs down the rear wheel tub then in the wiring trough under the passenger door sill. Then across the toe pan to a pass through.
