The stock FFR battery cable is a bit small for the job. I think it was 4 gauge and I upgraded mine to 2 gauge. Particularly important if you are running from the stock mounting locations. I have a ground strap from one starter bolt to the frame, new battery, heavier than stock cable and my 302 still cranks slow when it is very hot. I suspect some of the cheaper (like mine) battery cutoffs may also contribute.
