Grounding Kit Review

Grounding Kit Review
I had recently purchased Happy's grounding wires of which i paid only $40. I must make this clear that Happy only sells wires, so it did not come with instructions nor extra bolts.
I installed the kit on Friday, took about 2 hours because of the lack of good directions. If i had to do it again, it would take me 5 minutes to install it. Its that easy now.
I took out the G for a short drive on Friday night and I noticed a tiny bit of smoothness improvement, engine-wise.
What boggles my mind is that yesterday, my brother was driving my car, and he commented on how smooth the car feels, and how quickly and smoothly the shifter feels now. I did not even tell him about the grounding wires yet!
Another improvement that I've noticed is the ability to squeal the tires from the 2-3 shift!!!!!!! Its so easy to do now!
Conclusion: Go get yourself some $40 grounding wires from Happy (i cant seem to find his thread on here).
Improvements: Faster shifting (6MT), ability to chirp the tires from 2-3 upshift, noticibally smoother engine response.

Re: Grounding Kit Review
here's a pic from Friday night
Yesterday i went back and actually drilled a small hole in the rubber piece by the battery compartment so i fed the wire thru there so that it looks very nice and professional [img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img]
I also put some blue threadlock on most of the bolts.
I dont have a pic of it yet

Rambo:
Hopefully, I was able to answer your questions on the install when you PM'd me. One of Happie's other customers had similar questions. For those that purchase Happie's kit, you can refer to my labelled picture (page 10) on the Hyper-Ground Thread.
Also, so we keep comments on one thread for others to refer to, would you mind re-posting your comments on the resource thread?

Re: Grounding Kit Review
If you're around westminster, go to JK electronics located on westminster ave and edwards. They have every single connector you need. For wire I would go with West Marine since the outer jacket of the wire is more resistent to the temperatures under the hood and the elements. You don't need sosche, monster, stinger, etc. The west marine cables will work just as well if not better. Another note is to make sure you get weather resitent heat shrink tubing (when you squeeze the tubing it should be sticky inside), anti crossive spray, and do not touch the copper with your bare hands. The oils from your hands will cause the copper to corode.
My question is, what are the grounding points for this modification?

Re: Grounding Kit Review
well there are 5 main points that you need to connect the ground wires to.
1) on the passenger side strut
2) middle of the front of the engine manifold thing
3) on the intake manifold
4) on negative battery terminal
5) on the goldish bracket at the rear of the engine
