I'm doing similar to this except I'm using tranny and therm. housing for ground directly to battery.

Battery cables are 2ga. instead of the OEM 6ga.

The engine block is the only true ground.  Every OEM on the planet has it wrong.

why not just have all the grounds go to just one bolt on the block? then off that one to the head/chassis.

All soldered into one lug, and environmentally shielded?  That works.  If you plan on stacking them, though, that just form corrosion between the layers.

Is the diagram not worthy of your important threads thread JD?

I figured it would assist some members troubleshoot problems and possibly avoid them in the future.

You may make a little more power with a properly grounded electrical system and possibly be able to do one in reverse?

+1 So umm i have to run wires to my block from everything? dont ya think the extra weight from all the cables will offset the .1hp you make from it? i could see using this on a giant stereo but i think the less wiring the more power you make because electrons take energy to power up wires even how minute it might be its kinda like taking a small turbo and expect it to fill 3" charge piping vs using 1.5" piping sure you wont flow as much but neither will the turbo much like why would you use 0/1 ga wiring when the alternator on a honda makes like 60 amps?

i am kinda drunk right now so correct me

There is no extra weight.  It's wire, not a fucking barbell.

The gain is not .1 hp, it's an electronic widebody93 issue.  If all your wires aren't hooked up correctly, all you get is a lot of interference/noise in your brain box and the conclusions you reach based off of that garbled input are fucking retarded.  Please keep in mind that a ECU has less ability than a widebody93 to intelligently decypher some distorted bit of information; they are designed to respond repeatably and precisely time and again to very specific inputs, and you just get a lot of trash when you try to feed it the logical equivalent of ;/lkasasf';AFSVD;aVSD"
