finally got around to fixing my 3800 hesitation

it was just too ******* annoying and i have put up with it for about 2 months now... after relocating the battery i noticed i had the hesitation so i knew my grounds were not as good as i thought they were.... well today i finally motivated myself to buy some 2 guage wire and ran it from the battery to the bellhousing of the tranny where it bolts to the motor, and ran another wire from the battery to the chasis where the cargo bins would be (its a convertible)... anyway where i went was the only bolt that you can see from the passenger side of the car and it proves to be a great ground for a battery... i noticed a great improvement in all the powerbands and realize how much i was missing out on lol.... anyway thats how i fixed mine

And how much weight did you add to this already heavy vert by running 2 gauge wire all over the place, lol?

Am I gonna have to go up there and show you how to ground your car with "normal" wiring?
