Switched Power Terminal for Accessories

I bought a couple remote terminals for power distribution. One is under the hood and connected directly to the battery for "always hot" power for my MSD box and the load side of the relay for my electric fans.

I mounted another one under my dash near the fuseblock. My intention is to connect "ignition switched" power for some other accessories: Nitrous switch, Bottle heater, fan switch, gauges, etc.

I know that the terminals on the bottom right of the fuseblock marked "IGN" are switched power. What I couldn't find in my GM shop manual or my Haynes manual, is their rating. I intend to run inline fuses on each accessory I connect to the remote terminal, but I don't want to overload the circuit.

Here is the remote terminal I am using (bought from M.A.D. Electrical): Catalog

Any thoughts as to the right way to do this?

C'mon, there's like 30,000 members on this site. Someone knows the amp rating of the fuseblock's IGN accessory terminals.
