BTW, I have an arospeed kit and it has worked fairly well. Here is a thread with a DIY from Pharoh that you can use...

It looks really good, and the central point is best. Make sure you pick some good ground areas.

tx for the DIY but i already saw it which si great help this kit comes wiht a little manual aobut half a page and it tells you which parts to connect it to but now where exacly. ITs jsut said" connection points intake manifold, engine block, head lamp, cylinder head, alternator, transmission. those are the points it gives you to connect to and i thinks these are 8 gauge some thick wires i must say!!!

No, the Bridge motorsport kit is only 8ga. I got a 4ga kit from Happies a while back and ended up using three cables plus a replacement ground.

ok guys i installed the kit today took me aobut 2 hours!!! the biggest problem was jsut removing the air intake to get to the trottle body but not bad at all! damn we have a small *** TB that this is like a quater size lol!!! anyway after grounding the wires buy the way i took of some of the stock grounds and replaced then wiht the new once. Wehn i started the car it felt like i got into someone elses civic i mean you will notice the difference but its not that big of a diference! I felt the clutch a little different kida moore firm but the biggest this i notices was every time i turn on my ac it didnt take up so much power and the lights dimmed much much less than before!!! I doubt that i gaind any HP but you can feel the tb respond a littel better! By the way the wires look really cool only thins is i could not get to the alternator to ground it so i jsut put the ground wire on my ac compressor! when i get my pullys put it i'm gonna tell the tech to take the wire off the ac and put it on the alternator or i might just get antoher wire cuz i run my ac like 10 months out of the year!!! hot i florida!!! Well my final conclusion is that i like the ground kit lol! i thinks it was worth the
$60 i dunno if i will get a better fuel milage out of it i normally run 370 miles and then the gas light comes on well this saturday morning i'm heading out to chicago wiht my car so i will post if the milage increased wiht the ground kit or not!!!

I have a pretty good ground setup now including the hyper voltage system. It definately helps. I'll be posting a review probably tomorrow.

Got it from www.optauto.com

It's the MR version (multi-rev) that's the best out of the three types. Great website and service. I'm still testing mine out, but throttle response has definately improved. I'm gonna do a review later on.

Heh, yeah, their site is pretty hard to find stuff. There are different colors of cable to choose from.
