Depending on the resistance in the fuse you will probably be droping some voltage on the fuse -not a lot but some. My other concern would be ground loops. I'd definately run a heavy ground up to the front of the car with the positive cable. I would also make sure all the car's computers are grounded to the battery directly to eliminate any issues....

We'll find out tomorrow if the 200A breaker works.
As for the grounding issues, I don't see any point in running a separate ground wire along the length of the car. The car's body itself should provide more ground path than any reasonable wire could hope to.
