Upgraded Chassis Grounds

Anybody else spend some time upgrading their grounds / batt connections? Since i dropped some ungodly underdrive pulleys on my car my voltage was dropping.

I upgraded the grounds / 12v to the block, alternator, and distro block with 4awg and picked up a solid volt. well worth the time/effort.

Yep

Yes, I have done the same.
Don't forget to loose that lame power distribution block-what was gm thinking with that POS?
I also replaced\upgraded the braided "belt" style chassis-to-engine grnd straps.
Replaced all main power cabling with 2ga premium starter\welding cable.

Well worth the time and effort and having the peice of mind that comes from doing it right.

how did you go about eliminating the distro block and what did you use in its place?

Or just go by any electrical supplier and buy a bussman power distribution block\or whatever brand they sell and install that.
I think my buss dist block was around $10-12$ from my local electrical supply house.
The ones from del city cost even less.
