Anyone know of a company that has a fuse block that is relay controlled? Basically what I'm wanting is a fuse block that has a relay that controls power to 5-10 fuses so I can turn that fuse block on and off with my Infinity Box. I want something clean and factory looking that takes mini fuses. If not I'll just have to end up building my own.

Thank you, I think that will work pretty well. The link had a link to Part 2 of his write up and they have a block that is wired relays and a buss bar for fuses. Looks like I can power the fuse buss bar off one relay and use the 4 other relays to control some other functions.

Painless has a couple different setups. I used one of the 7-circuit kits on a project. Nice setup, and well labeled.

Take a look at the Eaton Bussmann series:

I think this is what I've decided on. Uses mini fuses and micro relays and can support a constant 250A. I'm thinking 2 should work, one under the hood to put fuse protection on the injectors, coils, o2 sensors, MAF, and supercharger bypass solenoid, chiller pump, and still have room left for expansion. I'll piggy back off the Infinity Box ECM power feed to act as a wake up circuit for the relays and have an ignition 1 and 2 relays to send power to the fuses.
Interior wise I can feed everything from it so I don't have to buy another $500 Infinity Box power cell and piggy back off one of the ignition power feeds as a wake up signal to the relays and have live battery fed circuits for radio keep alive and interior lamps.
Not a bad size either, 6"x2.25"x2.7". Wires feed out the back so it will need some kind of stand off base or mounting panel.
