The above pic doesn't really help much. A 4G94 specific diagram would be more usefull. I just used all the regular grounding points. However there's one, down by the transmission that has a huge cable that was too big for my kit.

if you read on the side of that diagram it says exactly where they should be mounted, and if you look many of those points already have grounds on them, you're just beefing it up

Well, I know these kits are useful. Got one myself, and being stock...you can really tell a difference. Here's a link to the same custom fit kit I got in red ( http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...961657462&rd=1 )

Check it out, LESS THAN $50!

After two and a half tanks of gas:

1.) Better gas mileage. Gas light now goes off at 290, instead of 280. (It's slight but it's better) I pulled into Shell at 315! And I don't drive conservativly... Imagine what it would be like if I drove slow.
2.) My car used to bog when doing a sharp U-turn, not anymore.
3.) Low end power is there like when it was stock
4.) Acceleration in thrid and forth is smoother
5.) My kit owns all of the other ones
6.) I've had to fight off the girls now because of this kit.

I'm going to go wax my car now. Oh, 5 is true, six not so much. Ground Fusion Buy your kit from tyler... more colors then just Blue and Red by the way... and his wires are crimped not soldered for a much better connection. Again that's Ground Fusion I can't stress this enough Buy from him.

I'm sure it makes idle smoother but better gas mileage? For some reason i doubt that. Saying you got 10miles more on a tank of gas because of the kit is ridiculous. There's no way in hell you drove the exact same way giving you the same gas mileage on both tanks of gas.

ok, i just installed my ground kit based on the diagram shown above. I connected the neg on the battery and daisy-chained it to the right side chassis, to the other engine hoist bolt on the head (the one without the lift eyelet), to the transmission bell housing, to the intake manifold, then to the left side chassis. Did i miss any spots?

Then buy a kit, any kit, from anywhere and try it for yourself. I'm only telling you what I noticed. By the way, my right tire was a bit low as well. I have a full tank now so I'm going to see if it's even better.

It makes sense that if you are accelerating more smoothly because of a better spark you would in turn be using less gas. But I suppose that's just therory. Someone with a kit please let me know if I'm right.
