Default Gauge Wire for Standalone

Question,

What gauge wire did you guys use for your standalone fusebox? I'm thinking the big one from the factory is not needed since the fusebox isn't doing as much. I am currently using the thickest red wires off the original harness that wasn't the actual battery wires.

For the key'd injector and coil wires, using the diagram from LT1Swap, where he combined the wires together, should I use a thicker gauge in the fusebox and then split it to the thinner wires or can the orig wires from the harness spliced together work?

Thanks Guys

we use a #8 from the fuse box to battery + because it also runs the ignition, fuel pump, and 2 fan motors. If it is just the coil's, injectors,maf, o2's grouped together we use #14.
