Slow Start- Starter Heat Soak Issues

After reading lots of threads about this issue I decided to add some ground straps first instead of replacing the starter.
I have a LS3, cammed, headers and Procharger that has been having the slow start issues for a while.
I first went to the trunk and added a ground strap from the negative battery cable to the body.
I then added another ground strap from the back of the starter to the body.


And the third ground strap from the transmission bell housing to the body.



I just did this over the weekend and after using the car all weekend long not 1 slow start yet!!!

I added a engine to chassis ground (direct to frame) and havent had this issue. The starter grounds to the engine. Even if the starter is grounded to the chasses, the rest still needs to be enhanced. I went Drivers side head to frame.
