Just because the factory did it a certain way doesn't mean it was the best way. Functional? Yes, but they did things w/a 'cost effective' mind-set. I do the main cables the same size (usually 1GA & made to spec) then do my secondary grounds w/4GA pre-made battery cables available @ most parts stores. Overkill? Yep. But I don't have starting or ground issues either.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
