If in a big bundle, de-rate to the chart a few pages further back in the book. I cannot comment on your fast-on tab question, but 12 ga wire size should be just fine. It is what I am using, but I have not gone past a few low speed grounds runs yet myself. Good luck, -------- David Gallagher 601 XL, working on final assembly.
