grounding kit
The only people that say it doesnt matter are going off of theory and not practicality.
It doesn't give power. Anybody who claims that is misleading. It does, however, change the shifting. Very much so.

thats all im hoping for is shifting and possibly a little better throttle resonse.
also i dont have to purchase anything becausse i already have rolls of 4 gauge wire. . so no money will be lost.. i just need to know where the grounding points are. ive already dont the big 3 wire upgrade. when i installed my stereo.

Well, i may not agree with the claims of the grounding kit, but after looking at your other products i do have to say thats some of most beautiful looking engine upgrades i've seen. Very sweet!
All you need is an accelerometer and DAQ (data acquisition unit). If the change is drastic enough to be felt during acceleration (with the shifting), the accelerometer would definitely pick it up. Take 5-10 runs with the kit installed, 5-10 runs with the kit uninstalled, and then compare the differences. You should be able to quantify the actual shifting times, and smoothness / abrubtness based on the data.
I'll lend the equipment out to anyone who wants to do the test themselves, and if the data shows a difference, then i'll eat my words!
Or better yet, lend me a grounding kit and i'll do the test as i have access to an AUTO g35. I can then post the data.
I would do that...I don't live anywhere around you though. And, I don't think it will pick up on a accelerometer unless you can see the actual shift points specifically. The shifting was not so much changed (still a slush box) but more that the was no delay between the time you shift and the time that the transmission started the shift.

im sure he wont take you up on that offer. although i would reallly like to see someone dyno test these and do alll the little electronic bull**** that people have been saying they would test to see if its actuallly getting better flow or whatever it is.
i am still on the edge about this idea of it working or not

ive got an even better idea. since i am not a person of interest here. and i really have no idea if these things actually work or not. AND i already have 4 gauge wire and end peices. i will install one on my car. and i will report back. and like i said above i am on the edge of believing it works or not so im not going to be one of the poeple that wants it to work since i spent money on it. (i didnt spend a dime on this wire) to make it easier on me though. to get better throttle response do i have to install ALL 10 wires. or couldi just install a couple? and if so. where to where?
This is for the GordGee 10 wire AT kit.
You need to absolutely ground the TCU, ECU, and transmission. Additionally wires to the plenum and the stock grounding points are on here. You can't see the TCU/ECU grounding points..the one on the transmission is on the passenger side I believe.

ECU/TCU grounds go here
