did you search, there are SEVERAL threads talkking all about it, IMO its not gunna do anything, but other people think it helps, so who knows, but from what i've heard you ground the tranny, core support, valve cover, firewall, and strut tower...
omg...better just say sorry for not searching before someone flames
...there was a gounding kit DIY..ALSO added to the DIY section that has given alot of information...You you dont know how to search then go to the tech forum should be near the top.

-neg to tranny
-tranny to firewall
-firewall to drivers side strut
-neg to radiator suppport
-radiator support and replace your stock wire that goes to the block(i heard this is best)
-but you can also run a wire from the radiator support to the valve cover.

A grounding kit lowers the resistance in the enginebay i was told by .05 or .5 i dont remember...a guy gained a second off his 0-60km time...thats impressive right there i say its worth it.

0-60km? That's only like 35mph or something. Did you mean 0-60mph (0-100km)? That is pretty impressive.
So is this grounding thing another one of those "some people say it works, other people say it's crap" things?
