These are some decent articles on the topic:

I recommend making your own with good quality 6-gauge wire. On a B16 you can put a ground on:
1. Front of the valve cover
2. Back of the valve cover
3. Thermostat area
4. Transmission

You shouldn't really need more than that. Also, don't forget to make sure your battery (-) to strut tower wiring is in good shape.

just get some 8 guage and 4 gauge wires from like a stereo place. i got my for free because they were in the garbage. i put them on tonight and i think it may have made a difference. my throttle response is a little bettter. it all depends on how your ground wires are to begin with. mines looked very old, probably orginal
