grounding kit tech and SUNS
i want to know where is the best location of grounding points and how to.
i was looking at "SUNS" hyper ground system kit http://www.sfxperformance.com/parts/SUNHG00001K.htm
and it looks like it comes with 5 4awg wires with terminals built onto it already. now with these 5 wires, can anyone please explain where these 5 wires start from and end at?
i know theres a DIY ground kit install, but im pretty sure theres better ways to do it to get better ground than going around the engine bay. from the top of my head, what i know are:
1) negative battery terminal to factory tranny ground point
2) from the factory tranny ground point to firewall
3) from firewall to driver side tower strut (factory ground point as well)
4) a 2nd negative terminal to radiator support (factory ground point)
5) then from the radiator support to engine valve cover
is this the best procedure or can someone tell me better?
pics would be really helpful too
thanks

I got the buddy club race spec condenser. HP wise I don't feel ****. MPG wise it's a different ballgame I get an extra 2.5-3 mpg. In time it should pay for itself. It comes with blue 8 awg wire.

is this the one you got? i wouldn't mind better mpg when gas is $2.60 per gallon.
The grounding kit I bought from Harcore Tuning has 4 wires:
Neg Battery to Tranny, Tranny to Valve Cover, Valve Cover to Frame at Radiator, Frame to Alternator Bracket.
I thought there'd be one directly from Neg Battery to Chassis, but I'll probably add one.
And factory wires are 8awg, go for 4 awg.

Looks like there are a couple of treaded holes on the back of the alternator. I'm thinking those would be good if I can find a couple of short bolts to fit. I just got my Buddy Club condenser in the mail yesterday, and I have the Sun Hyper Ground wires from my old car, so that's 8 grouund wires I can hook up.

is there any cautions to look out for?
its not possible to damage or harm any equipment with just grounds are their?
i toggled with the alternator before, but with the positive batt, it was more trouble then i could handle with heh.
