So all you gotta do is pull the negative lead and tighten an extra ground wire under it and run the wire to the frame somewhere and you're good to go???

Apparently so from the pics and threads I read. So I'm going to pick up two or three braided grounding straps and start attaching to different places on the block. You could just run one cable to a distro-block or something to mount to different places?

I have yet to do this, I ran into autozone the other day and I see the sell double end eye cables for 5bucks they say they're for starters but they look like they'd be thick enough gauge *about half inch around I'd say* to be used as another negative battery cable

a good cheap way of doing this is to get some of those cheap jumper cables and some battery terminal copper crimp eyelets. i did that when i was doing my battery relocation. now i have a red (+) and a black (-) wire going from the front to the back. i used 6ga cables too. you can get them down to 2 or 0 ga if i remember right.

I can't remember where or who, but I've read using jumper cables is not a good idea for some reason. It might have been because that is not what they are designed for but I think it was more than that. I thought of it too and obviously it would work but some said not to....

can i do this mod with one of those braided ground wires? Like the one on the decklid? Or do i need a larger gauge wire? Just curious cause i happen too have an extra one of those braided ground wires laying around..

Hello All
I have completed this additional ground but have a question. I ran the cable from the block to the negative battery post instead of the chassis. Is this acceptable or should it go to the chassis? Also what are the main grounds on a 2.8 as the one from the block to the decklid is gone. I want to make sure all are in place as I am chasing a slight idle surge issue.

Thanks so much for any help
Kevin
