Will 4Ga be enough?

I'm getting ready to wire up my car for my LSx swap and I'm trying to decide whether this will be ok. I plan to run a 1 into 4 distribution block and I'm wondering if a 4Ga wire from the battery will be plenty to feed everything.

I have dual electric fans and a walbro 255 fuel pump everything else is stock.

Re: Will 4Ga be enough?

The stock battery cable is plenty

8ga to the relays will be tough to swing as terminals for that size most likely wont fit any standard relays. Early stock is 10ga for the IGN 12v feed on the C100, 12 on the light feed. Later 3rd gens used 12ga for both. Fuel pump relay is 16ga, but most upgrade that with their own little hotwire kit. 12ga is enough to run both fans
