Man I am stoked... it actually looks better than I figured. All I have left is to build the pwm and efie. Pics will come once my better 1/2 gets home.

I hope yall did not think I was gonna let ya off the hook without another question:D... What gauge wire should I be using to wire this whole gizmo together with. I am talking from the battery to pwm to cell and anything else in between thats missing:p.

You should be fine with 10 gauge unless you're really pouring some current through it. If you're pulling 30 amps or more 8awg would be safer.

I'm drawing almost 40 amps with my dry cell and the wires are only warm to the touch after sustained run time over 2 hours.I'm using 10 gauge with a 60amp relay and breaker,and it's been over a year since I installed the cell

I don't doubt it. You can run 40A through 10ga and likely never have a problem, I just like to over-engineer things a little, especially where wiring is concerned.
