Thats just wrong...........!!

Why not use a bigger gauge cable to start off with ??????

Somebody did a serious sales job on that deal........yeah, lets see.........you need 8 runs of 8ga. power cable........yeah, thats it !!!

You could power a frickin' nuclear power plant with that much cable !!

Sure looks like it's a touch bigger than 8 AWG. come to think of it, that red cable seen appears to be 8, or 6 AWG...
