If you are trying to calculate the smallest size wire needed, then you also need to take into account the wire distance (e.g. if the battery is in the trunk, will need larger wire). I think if you went with a minimum of 2 gauge copper strand, you would be fine. I'm using 2 gauge Quick Car cabling from the trunk to a starter on my 540 Big Block. No problems at all. However, if you are trunk mounted, I would HIGHLY recommend a remote starter relay...you don't want that wire energized all the time.
