    Happy then disappointed…

    Allow me to add my two cents. First, a relay on a high amp draw is always a good idea. The reason, let's say you have a long distance between the ignition and the starter, if you use a relay, you don't have to push the current all the way to the key and all the way back to the starter you just...
