I got a set of low ohm grounding wires. Does anyone have any experience with good placement for optimal gains?

Put them in the same place as the stock grounding cables.

I installed a 5-wire grounding kit. Seemed to smooth the idle, but no seat of pants power increase. Had trouble with passenger side ground on firewall as called out in the instructions. Moved that wire to existing ground point on front side of strut tower.Did notice that the power windows now move a bit faster, though they are still slower than any other car I know.91 240SX, 28k miles, stock intake/exhaust cept for K&N filter.

Yes it will increase your power but unless you got some big mods you can't tell and being your so high you still won't feel.Think on a 400-600hp car they gained 10hp and torque was like 9 and 12.So 2% gain in power.

My experience with one was as follows: Car starts fasterIdles smootherAnd high rpms are significantly smootherThe grounding points are as follows:

- Replace the stock grounding wire to the engine block.- put one on the chassis- directly to the alternator (beneath the stock grounding)- middle of the valve cover- on the side of the valve cover- on the intake manifold (beneath the stock ground)- on the transmission
