thats pretty much what i did.


hard to see, but i basicly found a nice spot on the chassis, grounded to the batt, starter, intake mani, valve cover, and i still need one to the alternator. i dunno if it does anything, but ahh well. im moving the one to the valve cover to the block, and yep.

You'll notice better electrical continuity.

yes, your right. I'm thinking he means more in the Hp range, which there is nothing to gain through a grounding system.

I installed a ground kit on a friends car.
I felt no difference at all.

Just clean up your stock grounds and save your money.

Ohh! The "hyper" one.
Well why didn't you say so?


This topic has been beaten to death.
Do a search.
Finding the points isn't what people question about it's the way you route it, either daisey chain or seperate points on the chasis.
You got the tranny, the alternator, you got the valve cover, the block and battery terminal, you got your headlamps, you can ground to a chasis bolt like a strut tower bolt, someplace on the firewall; or have them all chain link together leading back to the terminal or have them each have their own point on the bettery terminal; use that head of yours.
