When I originally built my LS1 conversion car, I didn't add a relay for the starter solenoid (to save the ignition switch). I can retrofit one quite easily, however what rating of relay is really necessary? I have a 30 amp, which would seem to me to be plenty good to activate the solenoid. Thoughts?

I have a 15 amp fuse on mine. I wouldn't go higher than that. Make sure your starter and solenoid are in good working order. If the solenoid hangs up it'll blow the fuse when that happens. I put the fuse mounted on the firewall. If it does blow I don't have to crawl underneath a hot engine and heat exchanger to change it.
