ok my TA has a problem--please help!!

Recently we relocated the battery on my TA to the hatch.I had to do this in order to put my SLP air induction.Now I have been running into problems starting my car.It will start fine in the morning or if it has been sitting for awhile but not if I shut it down and then try to restart it.I have to let it sit for at least an hour before I can start it again(and sometimes even then it sounds like it does not want to start).Could anyone please give me some idea of how to fix this problem??I have heard a few different ideas of what it could be but have recieved no possible solutions. Thank you in advance!!!!!

If you are sure it is not a hot starter, than I would look for a loose connection at the starter ot even a ground. I am not sure if your wires getting hot could cause a problem but it might be something to look into. Heat and resistence kind of go together. You may not be getting all of the power you need to your starter. It is hard to say without being there.

did you run welding cable from the battery to the starter? if you never i'd do it now. did you use a ford selonoid? if not i'd install one.
