You really need to run a large gauge cable to the engine also. The little grounds all around the rest of the engine aren't heavy enough for extended starter cycles.

you have any pics on how to do that? or where to connect the cable to the engine?

thx

The main ground is usually connected to one of the transmission bolts. Just pick one that is accessible.

I took some pics and circled 2 parts that I think it has to do with the negative or positive side… is it this i have to upgrade?

Thx

You don't really need to mess with the positive wire to the starter unless you suspect you are having problems with it or you just want to do some preventive maintenance. You need more ground points though. For your main ground, just get a wire with a clamp on one end and a ring connector on the other. The main ground should go to the engine, usually were the transmission and engine is bolted together. Take out the bolt and nut on the terminal clamp and put in a longer bolt so you can add more grounds. Set it up like the sketch below.
