Well i got a free grounding kit from someone on the org. to prove or disprove that they work. today i took the time to install it.
Its 4 gague wire with copper connecters. To be honest i didn't see an affect on any of the lights at all. Now i did seem to have abit, little bit, of a better throttle response and i can really tell my subs are hittin alittle harder and alot more crisper. Heres some pics of my head lights before and after and my gauges before and after.

All i can say is its not to bad of a deal. if u can get one cheap or make one urself go for it.

Try putting the ground on something other than your oil filler bracket, like in a tranny bolt.
isnt this the same as the big 3?

Nope. The big 3 consists on grounding the alt, A new ground for the battery which he has, and a power wire from the alt to a fuse then to the battery.
Ryan, Did you have any problems with the install? was the quality ok? How were the directions? was it really worth it?
I sanded down everything right to the metal. you cant tell on the tower becuase of the strut bar being over it.
El Fuego : the install was easy as pie. u only need to know how to losen bolts and put it together. The only probably i found was that my battery terminal was an 8mm not 7 like u had listed. The quality was great looks awsome IMO with the blue strut bar. IMO if u use it for a system its worth it. Like i stated i can really tell a difference in my subs and how they sound and hit.

Not trying to be a dick here, but your test hardly seems "scientific". DId you think about getting some voltage readings? Or myabe a dyno test?
The butt dyno test doesn't really hold up.
ya the only thing i would believe is a metered test with this thing.
a voltage reading probably wont mean anything, you would have to test the ampacity.
because a car circuit is 12-14.5V, depending if it is on and has an efficient alternator, voltage testing shouldnt see a change.
amperage, should be higher if it works.
Injection is nice but id rather be BLOWN!
well this was only a visual test. since thats what most ppl look for anyways.

Then what is this kit? What did you do?
grounding kit is just that grounds. You put soem wires in a diasy chain trhough your engine compartment. from tower to tower and from your batt to a better ground point. Its to aid the stock system.
