you are only gonna need about 10-12 feet. you can upgrade your stock valvcover ground, battery to chassis ground, and tranny ground (you might wanna double up on the chassis ground), and add these grounds: battery to vtec solenoid, throttle body, intake manifold, and thermostat housing. Its up to you if you want to ground the alternator as well. enjoy.

Some people say: Brighter headlights, better gas mileage, smoother idle, faster startup, smoother powerband, and increase in HP and TQ (a lot more in non hondas). Some peeople will pay $100+ for the jdm versions, some pay 80+ for the generic no name brands and most (like me) will pay 15 bucks to make one themselves. And of course you will get the other people that will tell you its a waste of money and the whole concept behind it is wrong. Choose you side and follow your destiny. -=o)

In the end, the "pyscological gains" outweigh anything else. IF your bored, do it. Maybe youll get lucky and your headlights will get brigter. To be honest. Use that fosgate wire and replace all existing grounds while cleaning off the ground surfaces if you wanna play around.
