Dom, what i have is a Painless wiring fuse box for all my added accessories. It has its own relay and holds 7 fuses. I have my Innovate plugged into this box as well as all added acc. Only thing wired to the original fuse box is what came on the car. Hope this helps.
I have the 6 switch version of the same box and I run my lm-2 from the switched 12 volt engine run switch and grounded to a bulkhead stud for grounds this has all my grounds tied together and a main ground wire back to the battery including the engine ground I am also using the rpm function and that has the tach signal coming straight off the tach post on my 7al and grounded to the same battery ground, no relay, have not seen any goofy readings with mine.
