no... those have just been the places they found that give the best gains.

Thanks Gerald. Appreciate the quick response.

Dan, to include in what Gerald said, it also helps if you add a few points as well. My buddy Joe (Anomoly#5) made a grounding kit using 4 guage wire from these points:

- Battery to firewall
- Battery to intake mani
- Tranny to intake mani
- Firewall to intake mani
- and Fuelrail to intake mani

I noticed some noticable changes in just these points grounded alone. If you want, contact joe ( Anomoly#5 ) by Pm and he can send you a kit.

If you are referring to the one I wrote in the tech forum here, you can expect about 2 hp gain from each additional point you ground.

Right.

The whole concept of hp gains from better grounding is still heavily debated. I am in no position to argue for one side or the other based on scientific knowledge or performance testing. The wiring I described is based on what I have seen others doing. If you ask me, all the chassis grounds are overkill; three different grounding points in sheet metal that welded together. Heavier grounds to the engine and major electric components make some sort of sense.

Thanks again guys. I have purchased about 20 feet of 4 gauge Lightning Audio cable and gold plated connectors. I will do the work tomorrow.

Wret, great article and alot of help. The Eclipse Club of the Philippines, Eclipse Worx thanks you as well.

Hey Wret, is there a such thing as over grounding (too many ground points)? Id like to follow your tech and add those to the ground point I already have (which again are):

- Battery to firewall
- Battery to intake mani
- Tranny to intake mani
- Firewall to intake mani
- and Fuel rail to intake mani

No.

The better the conductance, the less the resistance. Resistance changes electricity into heat.

Sweet, Ill be doing your tech article (which was may I say, VERY well written with the wiring charts, pics, and such I must say I noticed an incredible gain off my current gounding as is. Cant wait to see after the next 4-5 points Thanks...
