        • I ran 0 guage. But it's what the guys at efisource reccomended. I started out with a chassis ground like that and formed a ground loop and got some sensor noise.

          I'd say your car Matt would be different since it's all tube and engine plate. I'm no expert just doing what I was told after trying it the other way lol

          • More cubes, higher compression, longer run...all mean use a larger gauge cable. ALWAYS overdo cable size.

            General rule, not specific to Matt.

            • 1/0 is pretty sufficient for all our needs unless you are running 100'.

              I run a 1/0 from the battery to a junction up front. I bounce off it to the block at the starter, then to the pass cylinder head with a 4ga, then to the driver's cylinder head. From the junction I also ground me fans and a 1/0 to the alternator case. I run a 4ga ground to the front from the battery for my coils and efi grounds only.

              I run a 2' 1/0ga from the battery to the chassis. Probably could have just used a 4ga but I had the cable and ends to use.

              My ECU is grounded directly to the battery by the Holley EFI harness with nothing else on that post.

              Amplifier for stereo is on a separate battery ground post by itself also.

              It is easy if your running dual batteries that have dual sets of posts.

                Still maintain that chassis ground. All your minor electronics will use it as ground path...lights, horn, wipers, radio, hvac box, etc.

                  I have 400 pounds of battery cable.

                    Pretty much but no ground issues.

                          • read this thread.. i came across it today, and there are mixed feelings about doing that.

                            it intrigued me. is there any specific reason you didnt put it under the car?

                              I placed it there because of clearance issues everywhere else. I think this spot will be temporary for now till I possibly buy a smaller cooler and put it in the fender. I've seen this setup many times at the dragstrip, so I don't see why it would be a problem.
