just get some heavy gauge ground strap [forgot at the moment where to point you] solder ring terminals on, bolt to motor and chassis. you gain a small amount of power just because if the motor wasnt getting a good ground, the plugs arent firing as hard as they could, but nothing outrageous. dont believe they hype they try to sell you, its just about better effieciency.

yeah im just looking to replace the old nasty ones i have, not looking for a BIG power gain or anything. i read somewhere that its supposed to be under 2ohms from battery to chassis, and mine was like 4 or 5......

yeah. the other thing i was going to say, is that an autoparts store might have grounding strap, or go to a auto sound place and get some heavy gauge wire.
