Where is the battery? In the back? If so Tech is right and the car wants a bigger positive cable running to the starter from the battery. 2 gauge, like you get in a lot of the "kits" is to small. I would suggest at least a 1/0 CABLE.
Do this as a test. Once the car is driven a while shut it off and restart. Put a hand on the cable after you do the restart. IF it is warm or hot to the touch it is too small and is impeding flow to the starter.
I ALWAYS suggest going too big on charging and starting circuits rather then too small. 1/0 cable for starter and grounds and at least 8ga for charging circuits.
And make absolutely certain the grounds are making good contact! Any paint or chrome or rust will inhibit the ground so make sure all paint and rust is ground away prior to bolting the ground lugs on.

Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
