Bet you have an after market terminal on the positive side of the battery. These have the large cable clamped on rather than swedged and soldered into the terminal. The cable becomes corroded as well as the smaller red ten gauge wires. This reduces the current that the starter can draw. Note that the large cable is for the 200 plus amps the starter needs. The red ten gauge wires are what feed the rest of the car.
