Anyone find an advantage to running additional grounding or a large capacitor in their electrical system?
I'm not having issues per se but I was wondering if anyone was runing anything beyond the OEM points.
I run one 8ga from the battery to the t-stat housing, along with all OEM points. Was considering adding a 120,000pf 16v capacitor I have laying around.

It'd be good to get some research on this, however, most of the setups I've seen still maintain the stock components. I've only had one car in person that had excessive EMI to the point where it caused a problem and the wiring was a hack job.

I've had experience with EMI on the dyno, at least claimed by the dyno operator.
Ive seen some redicilously priced kits from buddyclub etc, in theory it may be beneficial.

I don't think the grounding so much as some EMI filters or magnet rings around the sensitive wiring inputs to the ECU
Interesting on some cars how the specific USB cable Hondata sells fixes the intermittent datalogging issues on some cars.
