Every time the starter current passes through another connection it creates the possibility of corrosion, resistance, and poor cranking speed. Ground the big cable from the battery to the bell housing as close as possible to the starter. Then the braided ground is just for decoration, or to provide a ground path for lights, heater motor, gas gauge, or other low current draw accessories.
Chevy used the "baby chicken" approach to grounding- - - -short braided ground straps are "CHEEP- - - -CHEEP- - - -CHEEP" compared to a long, heavy cable from the battery box to the bell housing!
