Just saw this. Guess I'll have to give it a try, off to Sound Track I go to get some 0 Guage wiring! This sounds like fun. Can you tell I'm bored? I'll post with results.

You shouldn't have to search all over. I got my 2 guage wire from autozone (just a battery cable replacement kit. Was like 5 bucks.) along with the ends I just crimpped on. Perfect size on the engine block end and just a tad too big on the frame end. Just threw a washer on and was set.
Not really any point in getting expensive audio ground wire or anything special. The 2 guage from Autozone is more than heavy enough, and it was the perfect length. -Randy [This message has been edited by debug (edited 01-15-2005).]

Alright....you were right an it worked for me as well. My guages used to jump around alot and the idle was pretty rough. Turns out the previous owner installed grounding straps to the exhaust manifold but ran them to a heavily painted bracket for the motor vents...UGH!. Luckily I have a battery w/ both side mounts and top posts. Used the extra top post to run a couple of grounds...extra to the body and two to the motor. Seems to have made quite a difference in performance and the guages. Thanks for the post. Frank

so several ground straps are needed?, i put a pinky finger thickness ground from the egr bracket bolt to the spot on the hood hinge that there was already a ground hooked up at, is that ok or should it be elsewhere?.

I did the 4 gauge ground and now it doesnt seem to work as well. I guess I'll have to add a couple more grounds.
I have 1 to the EGR bolt.

i would think that one from the neg- directly on the battery to the EGR Bolt (clenaed, and crus free should be more than enough, i dont see any reason to cludder your engine bay with 15 ground straps that just dosent make sence, on mine as i had previously stated i started out with just the original strap gooing from EGR to frame, but then i added another loop over to the - on the battery and all is good, a great improvment over stock!!
good luck, an thanks for all the +'s  they have been returned
