  1. if you truly have anything over about 400hp you should be able to lay tracks till the tread burns off without a break stand. i had an old K5 once with about 400-450 and with the posi and 35" tires i could do a rolling start and at about 3k the back would break loose. if i happened to be in a turn it was all bad. So if you want to back up your claim vids of performace are a must. and a naturally aspirated all engine 600hp BBC. you would have to have really high compression and about 106-114 octane to run right. also the stock diameter exhaust and iron manifolds not worthy of breathing needs.

  2. with todays high power systems an iso can actually harm you. it would be continually swithching back and forth and also cause extra wear on the alt. where you might use one.....lets pretend you dont have any amps just a deck and spks. wire in the isolator for main battery and auxilary batery. you go camping shut off the vehical and fall asleep drunk while fishing with the radio on(first youve made sure to be in acc not ignition position on the key) now you wake up and are able to start the truck because your starting battery was not drained. do this too many times and alternator dies because as soon as it starts it switches back to aux and spikes because it has to try to charge a dead battery. not good

  3. fuse protect the power sources, never over fuse what your wire can handle. for example if you use 8 gauge wire...it is rated for about 60 amps of current. if you put a 150 amp fuse, the wire will start to melt before the fuse pops. resulting in possible fire. yes fosgate has 500 amp fuses i use a shitload of them in my truck to protect the amps, and the batteries. i need that size because i have 12k in power which results in a possible 1500 amps of draw at full tilt
