400 amps, jesus do u mean volts? or watts?

400 amps @ 14.4V = 5.76 kW. You better have loads of fire extinguishers in the car since all those wires that actually powers the rest of the car will melt. You'll need lots of negative-gauge cables too. Let us know how it goes.

I have an idea. Get a Prius. Hack up the drivetrain so you can run the gas engine to power the electric motor/generator without turning the wheels. You probably will get near the power you want for the low price of a brand new $30k hybrid car.
