The Alternator to the Battery was included in the original GW Kit install, it was fine then...

I used to have a ground wire kit in my car and it would stall on a red light, crazy idle, etc. Once I removed the wire from the alternator and reset the ECU everything was fine.
Also how did you ground the head? Where exactly did you connected the wire to? And even better, just take pics and post.

sorry bro.CityKnight, take some pics of the battery from couple of different angles, then where did you connect what and then we can tell you what's going on.
Ok well, I removed the "new" problematic grounds and disconnected the Neg. to reset the computer.
Everythings back the original ground kit status, and working well again.
Heres the setup:
The Battery - Stock Ground Wire replaced. Far Wire to Tranny, Middle to Alternator
Heres the Wire to the Tranny, and the next one to the Head...

Heres the Head, and then over to the Throttle...
Throttle Body
Heres where the problem started. I went from the Throttle to Here on the Firewall...
...and from the Firewall to Here on the Pass. Side
Heres where the little crap wire was... (NOTE: This is still here. All is still well.)
