Sounds like a massive voltage drop, first thing to check is of course the battery's ability to handle the high starter load, if the battery passes the load tests, make sure the battery terminals are shiny clean and then you will need to run voltage drops tests on all the main cables. Also, if you grab any main cable and listen for a crunching sound when you try to bend it then the cable needs replaced as it has internal corrosion.
