I am going to use a bus bar to get all the connections off the starter. My question is about accessories that require clean battery power ( specifically my Holley Sniper 2 ) . Can you pull power off a bus bar that is connected off the starter. I will run a 4ga from the battery to starter and another from starter to bus bar.


Thanks, Bill

It will depend on what else you connect to the bus bar. From other posts I've learned some of the EFI systems can be picky about the power requirements. One thing I haven't seen mentioned about power connections. In electronic circuits we use to put capacitors on the input supply pins for most of the integrated circuits. If you wind up with Sniper issues, this could be something you could look into. Placing a large enough capacitor as near to the Sniper power supply connector might help out. A capacitor is basically a small battery that will also filter out the spikes in the supply it's connected to. If you wind up with issues, talk this over with Holley to see if it might help.
