So im moving my battery to inside the car and wondering if 4g wiring would be ok with no circuit breaker and no fuse. The battery is not going into the trunk its will be in the front in the glove box.

make sure you use a sealed battery so you're not breathing in toxic fumes
and 4 ga should be good, that's what I used.

But hey no joke about the funes man buy a sealed battery box from summit and run the bresather hose outside the car. The fumes produced from a battery being xharged and discharged can kill.

look up a battery relocation kit. it comes with a black plastic box that the battery mounts inside. Or you could weld up your own bracket. the box is good though because it has a hose to get the fumes out of the car.

Not just toxic but highly explosive. You've heard of hydrogen?
For drag racing you actually want the battery in the front.
