What is a BIG3 Power/Ground Upgrade. and how do you like the 4:10 gears from the factory setup? Nice setup BTW.

 

[Rick Shellenbarger]

The big 3 is upgrading the gauge size of your starters power wire (4 ga in 4.6 tracs, so not required), ground to block, and ground to frame. The idea is that electricity is like water when it flows. Most of the time a car of truck will have a 4-6 gauge power wire, but a 6-8 gauge ground. This makes the electrical system have a bottleneck that slightly negatively affects overall performance/efficiency. Having equal or greater size ground wires helps everything that uses current (including coils/plug) run with higher efficiency. You may gain a little performance increase, and if you have a bunch of aftermarket accessories like amp/subs, it will greatly reduce things like headlights dimming, voltage drops, etc. It's a cheap and easy mod that has no negative side affects, and does help everything that requires electricity work better.



The 4.10's are a must. If I had to do it again, I would have even gone higher... At least one more step. Makes the trucks acceleration much more fun

I have a 4:10 gear set for the rear, but I need to buy a kit for the front since mine is AWD. This is an upgrade I really want to get that done. I'm sure labor is going to be rediculous.

Oh boy, that looks nice and clean under that hood!



Im doing a new coil pack, wires, and plugs as well as a Big 3 in the coming weeks. As soon as my summer cash flow picks up! I hope I can make mine as clean as yours, Im trying out blue.
