looked like that, about 18" long...looked A LOT like the one sold for much more at the camaro site...bolted up fine to both bolts and looped over the exhaust.

Did you add it to the trunk ground or engine block?

May want to add an extra cable to the trunk ground too. Can’t hurt. That's where I added mine as I was having just a little hot start hesitation and it took care of it. The trunk ground is a screw not a bolt and it isn't very robust and its bottom is exposed to the road surface. Mine had some rust so when I added the extra ground cable I cleaned the screw and applied some dielectric grease. If you think about it that one connection is the source for all the other grounds.

Thanks sir. Guess I should have asked that question better, I meant a pic of "where" you installed the cable. Sorry. lol. I have a cable just like that one sitting on my work bench.

Caper was teh Body Bolt there or did you need to add it? If you added the bolt do you remember what thread? Also How long of a cable do I need to get? Thanks

it was already there. the cable i picked up was about 18" long or so - looked A LOT like the one in the link above, but cost much less.

Yeah, That line is way over priced, I can make my own for under $10. I'll Make one up and add it when i do my headers. This is better than adding to the trunk/Battery?

Either will provide extra electrons/power to the starter. Adding to the trunk is ezer

I grabbed 2 19 Inch cables from Auto ZOne today, one was 4 Ga and the other was 6 Ga, Not sure which I'll use yet, they cost me $14.00 for both.
