My 95 gt with tf top end kit, stage 2 cam, 30# inj, Bbk Shorties, hypertech chip, 75mm tb, 76m maf, Bbk c/a, has been hard starting. When it doesn't start it clicks like the battery is dead. Got it tested and it was fine. My alternator is brand new. When.I get a jump it starts fine. I thought it might be the stock starter isn't strong enough with the new top end. Any ideas?

Mine did the same thing, ended up being a bad alternator.

I'm just saying that's what mine was, can be a possibility. Mine only had like 2-3k miles at most N it took a shit N sounding like it was clicking/ spark type sound. Drained my battery from trying to start it too much. Get ur alt tested.
