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 think the benefit of the Ford style, is that you don't need anything else to mount it. It has tabs integral to the body.
Otherwise 30 amps is plenty. 8-10 Amps comes to mind when thinking of the Solenoid, but I cant be sure. |
