Hey qdeezie. Thanks for all of your posts helping with my set up on my 1993 F150. I had a question that I thought I would ask via message instead of using the forum if you don't mind. I saw that you had GT40 heads on your F150. Are you happy with the GT40's, would you recommend them or suggest saving up for performance heads? And is your F150 jacked up with mud tires or is it a street set up? What kind of HP and Torque do you think you're pulling with your set up? Thanks again for all of your insight. Chad
I will for sure be stealing your idea. Ive got access to some thick stick welding wire which i will run and distribute the grounds in the engine bay, along with 2 grounds underneath the rear seat for a couple amps. Ill prolly just run the same as you did as far as the power wires go, welding wire is just a b*tch to run from the batt to the amps in the rear. They came out of factory with pretty skimpy cables so i agree with you the more the better.
Oh ok Clean job. I just might steal your idea haha, never had any problems she turns over right away hot or cold but the grounds getting a little green might as well do it all while im at it.. so were the 5 ground locations already available or did you do a little modification? I havent ever chased down where it runs to
Hey my man i was just snooping through your profile and seen your 3/5 wire power and ground connections, I was wondering how much if at all it helped? I would think it does you more good than me considering you have the bigger amp alternator.
I got your message, thanks for the advice. I tried replying yesterday, but for whatever reason when I "submit message" the internet connection is lost. Thanks,
Grew up working on cars, went to school and graduated with a major in auto tech, used to work at a dealership for awhile as a mechanic. I got out of doing this every day for a living, but still love to do it as a hobby.
