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?

Thanks for the replies!
I hadn't considered a fuse, so yes I'll add one (I have an open slot in my power distribution fuse block). I would think a 10 or 15 amp fuse would be good enough. Andys |
