Amazon can be great like that. I've gotten a few things for free, but had them send me return shipping labels on things I thought they would just say keep and refund me the money, but somehow they get extra special shipping rates and still profit by having the product returned
Anyway it appears you doubled up on the 8awg to the Shunt. It would be a neat experiment to put a clamp on DC ammeter over the individual copper and aluminum wires to see how much current each is passing when in parallel and the MW is maxed out.
I did a similar experiment on two 4 awg wires, one which had steel ring terminals. 85 % of the current chose the cable with brass terminals instead.
