grounding TB to chassis or neg post
i read a few DIYs for grounding points and im stuck on the throttle body. idk whether it is better to ground the throttle body to the chassis or to the negative battery terminal?
can anyone tell me which is better and why?

i would only redo factory grounds. Why would you want to ground a throttle body?? That makes no sense. The sensors already have their own grounds.

Rep Power: 300 The throttle body isnt grounded since its sitting on plastic. Either route, it will be useless. To prove this, If you have an alarm try grounding it to your throttle body and see if it will still work (the siren)

Rep Power: 284 I grounded the TB to my buddy club condenser. I had extra wire and ring terminals so I said **** it, just do it. At first I noticed a slight improvement on throttle response, now it could be just in my head. I don't feel it now so who knows. Is it necessary? No. Can it hurt? No. My mpg is contant at 30. Before I was at 27(before BC condenser).
