The only difference should be the amount of wires one kit has and they go to things like the trans, ECU, BCM, which is mainly for engine performance not for audio performance.
The grounding kit will take care of 2 parts of the "Big 3" and he is going to make me an additional wire for my alternator to the battery to finish off the "Big 3" I figured that it would be nice to also improve on the AT shifting. His kits look very professionally done. In my opinion, he is also pretty good value, especially since I would not want to do the work myself.

Ok, I ordered it and am waiting for it to arrive. I admit I was a little leary about sending money via Money Order to Canada, but Gordee has acknowledged that he received the payment and they are due in late next week. I got the full kit and some extra stuff for my alternator. Can't wait!!!! Thank you all for the feedback

Here are some pics after installing the Gordee's Grounding Kit. It definitely made a difference on my 5AT for smoother shifting.

I got a grounding kit recently (not Gordgee's) with 7 ground points and 4 gauge wire and I can't really tell any difference at all

Id recommend SXEXCX i just got mine hes doing a good deal for them right now, The instructions make it easier than changing your oil! Super easy install shifting is so much faster when i use the slap stick very happy with his product.

The SXEXCX grounding kit was definitely a runner up. The only 2 sets that I considered were Gordee's and SXEXCX. The only reason I picked Gordee's was because I wanted the 4 gauge wire vs. the 8 gauge wires. I have a fairly large stereo system with 4 gauge power wires and a High output alternator with a 4 gauge power wire also. I figured it would be best to stick with the 4 gauge grounding kit. (Plus In my opinion the beefy 4 gauge wires look great) Although SXEXCX did tell me that he has done testing with the 4 gauge vs. 8 gauge and there was no distinguishable difference. Regardless they are probably both great sets and I have realized a noticeable difference with the Gordee's grounding kit.

P.S. Gordee's instructions were very easy also with a installation packet and pictures. SuperTooper was right .... it is easier than changing your oil. Although I still took it to my mechanic to do since I don't change my oil either.

Maybe you could just add the other 3 wires?? I did a lot of research and felt that the 10 wire kit was the most effective. You also need to reset the ECU when doing it.

I'll try resetting the ECU and see if I notice any difference. My grounding points are very similar to yours. I don't think adding more wires will do anything because a lot of them already seem redundant.

Where can I find Gordgees kit?

So, I've read a lot of good things about Gordgees Grounding Kit. I know he's got his website, but when I try to access it it brings up an error, so I'm not sure how to get in contact with him. Any help would be much appreciated.
