    Just wanting to hear everyone's thoughts on adding additional grounds to the engine (min 2 gauge). I'm not an electrical engineer by any means but I think it would help. Thoughts?

    Back when I used to build street cars we always added additional ground wires to help "clean up" the electrical system. Improper grounding causes the most unnecessary headaches. Most guys were buying Sun Hyper Grounding kits but we always made our own.

    The biggest thing that causes electrical gremlins is a bad ground. The more ground straps the merrier. Use the highest quality ground straps. You can't overkill ground straps. Especially on a somewhat older tunny. Mine is a 14 and I check all my engine bay grounds and will upgrade accordingly.
