Default burnt ingition fuse using LTCC??

hey guys my car is a pretty fresh build and yesturday was the first time i really gave it some real throttle and directly after i let off the car stalled out and wouldnt start. Well upon further investigation it was just a burnt 10A ignition fuse... my question is what might have caused this and could it be from the LTCC im using... its been running fine and was running fine after i replaced the fuse today, but i havent floored it again yet since so i dont know if it will blow again? Any thoughts?

check all your wiring for a short that may have arc'd while engine/chassy was flexing

really? any reason why it would boost more amps through there? is it just pulling more becuase its 8 coils instead of 1? i bought the kit used so i didn't know this. Your positive that you are supposed to put a larger fuse in there? because im not a fan of putting in larger fuses than is called for, but if they recommend it ill do it.
