Installed hyper ground cables

I made my own set of hyper ground cables using 8 gauge wire and what not today. I used the diagrams that Shaual X posted on the board. They were very helpful. This job took about 2 hours to make the harness since I soldered it extra good and used heat shrink and made it all pretty. To install it was simple and took no more than 30 min. After starting it up I noticed that the idle was alot smoother! Not just in my head either. It actually feels alot smoother. After driving it I noticed it seems to pull all the way up to redline a little better and the acceleration is a little better as well. For the $20 I spent on the wire and the $5 on connectors this was a VERY worthwhile mod and it beats paying the dealer $270 for there cables!

I am wondering however where the "surge tank" is and what it looks like since it says to have one of the grounds mounted there and I am as well wondering where people are grounding them on the cylinder heads since I can't find a bolt anywhere on the cylinder head to mount them to.

Thanks
Chris

In the end which points did you pick up with your ground wires?

My guess is that there is one or maybe two critical points.
