Your fixes would only help if the solenoid would not pull in at higher temps. The fixes will not improve a slow cranking starter.
Hot starters have less torque because the motor windings have higher resistance, limiting the current from the battery. Smallish cabling and poor connections make the issue worse. A hot engine is harder to crank than a cooler one (at least at reasonable ambient temps). Along with 11:1 compression slower cranking is not surprising. Improving your cable size and connections (ground and battery positive) may help, along with a battery with higher CCA rating. Was it always like this or has it deteriorated? The latter may indicate starter wear. George

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
