The best place to run your grounds are :
1. intake manifold
2. engine block
3. transmission
4. headlight assym. mounting bolt
5. alternator mount bolt
6. body panel ( remove paint or it won't ground )

All of these must run to your negative battery terminal. I would try to find the largest, yet most flexable cable I could use ( ie. stereo power cables) You should see a few HP/ TRQ gains, but mainly a more consistant power flow. I notice a little more pep in my MSP but my headlights do not surge anymore

Dont forget your strut towers, they have lots of sensors mounted to them that like grounding...

car ran smoother, no big power gains....
