The wire is fine... It's probably the ground location you picked. Also breakers loose the ability to trip after they have been tripped numerous times. Also improper gains could play a factor too.,
I used a wire brush and anti-seize on my brakes. Where the pads lad on my truck it was really dirty and slightly rusty. They have to be perfectly clear for the pads to move back and forth. After I wire brushed the landings I put a touch of anti-seize on it. Same for the rotor landing.
Spin em. If you don't hear any odd noises or hang ups I would leave them alone for now. I actually have to change mine out. Audible clicking. Pisses me off. Only noticed it with the rotors off though.
And there ain't no might. Get them turned. Lol
Since it doesn't seem your a hard core gamer I would honestly try and find like a 8800GT. Older card but VERY nice. Bet you can find one cheap. No need to go and get a brand spankin new card.
Ok, running rough BEFORE or AFTER the plugs. Did you just stick them in without checking the gap?
And if it was AFTER the fact, what plugs did you use? I know some plugs in those motors don't play well.
Well misfire in number 3. Have you checked to see if you are getting ANY spark in number 3? Not hard. Don't be surprised if you get shocked though. Ever had your plugs changed?
When you have a alt rewound though the idle output and over all performance drops like a turd.
Your also going to shove different components in a factory housing...
