I'd highly recommend soldering them as well. The vibrations/movement from the motor and travel can really loosen things up.
Also, did you replace your big three? 1) alternator positive to battery positive, 2) battery negative to chassis, and 3) engine ground to chassis
good write up on this upgrade
The absolute ground of your electrical system is not your neg battery terminal, but the case of the alternator. Assuming the alternator is properly bolted to the engine, your block to chassis ground is your most important ground. It's usually one of those pansy braided flat cables from somewhere lower down on the block to the chassis.

I finally did the positive side and the problem came back but not as bad. It only lasted a day or two when I did the negative, maybe it has something to do with when I disconnect the battery? Computer reset or something?
