Default DIY Ground kit for GSR

Anyone have any picture or instructions on doing up a ground kit. I know there are better ground points and wondering what they were.

The only ones I can think of is the head ground and the tranny ground. What others help out?

I just want something small to do that is cheap. I know its not a big hp gain but it does help a tiny bit. Plus I can get all my cables and all that free.

using the right type of cable is pretty important supposedly, if its not big enough or too big it doesnt help, or so ive heard, ground to throttle body is another good place, and if you have an over abundance of wires do one from ground to IM, ground to vtec solenoid, hmm i cant think of the others, anyways, i made my own ground wires too, so to DIY, f*** over 100 bucks for ground wires, id rather not have them

You can use sound system power wire. 8-10 gauge should suffice.

no the wires from home depot work just fine, just find some copper ring terminals for the end, or alum will work too

I searched and nothing came up for me.

Thanks for who gave me useful info.
Keep it coming.

Does the IM already have a ground wire on it?
I just want to replace with better wire and terminals or do I need to make something that all the wires go to the battery terminal.

Ive heard that there are better ground spots then others also. Anyone know what they are talking about?

no there is not a ground wire on the intake manifold already, ive never seen one at least, i didnt run the wires to the neg battery terminal, i ran them to where the neg battery terminal is grounded on the shock tower housing area, theres a black wire, i just put them under the bolt holding the neg battery cable down, which is virtually like putting them directly on the neg batt terminal
