So did I until I installed the bell housing one along with the trunk one.. That made a big difference, that's why they show two vids, in case the trunk one didn't do it.Then I found my starter was taking a dump and replaced it, and now it starts waayyy better than it ever did brand new when I bought her!!

The video I saw was installing the trunk ground after already had did the bellhousing to frame, startup sounded the same before and after.

I was having hot start issues with mine over the years and never realized it was stemming from the battery ground cable. Basically, when I would have to immediately restart the car (think staging lanes, entering a car show, or realizing you could have parked a little better in a spot), it was very slow cranking. I got to the point where I was keeping a jump box in the car and was considering replacing the battery...even though I always keep it on a tender. I threw a set of ground cables I bought from bald_eagle, and now my car fires up without hesitation each time.

Here's a better video. Of the before and after. Granted, this is more from the block to the frame. I bought a 3rd cable from Amazon, for the battery to trunk ground. The cables I got from Baldy will be trans to frame, and block to frame.

Finally got the wires installed. Damn bolt in the engine bay subframe is a BITCH. Idk why but it seemed like I had more wiring in that area compared to some of the videos/pics I've seen. Pain in the ass moving shit, and my big hands don't help.

I did notice it fired up a little faster. How much faster, idk. I mainly did it to help fix my EPS going haywire. Hopefully this fixes it.

Does anyone know the bolt size/thread for the chassis located by the trans bellhousing?
Would I even need it? I already have the engine to chassis ground, and battery to body ground in trunk.

Yes especially if you have headers, Heat soaked starter problems
I do see a problem with the one in the trunk, V6 Cars have spare tires so the spare would rub the wire, you got a fix for that?

The bolt we used on my car at that point already had a nut on it, we just sanded the paint off the frame portion under it and bolted the cable right up.
