grounding kit question

I got BB's kit in the mail today. Very good quality stuff. I have read the DIY over and over again and can not figure out where to terminate the throttle body grounding wires. I know here to connect them to the throttle body but where do they end? I am so sorry for not being able to figure this out myself. Im sure I am just missing a simple step. Thanks everyone.

Never mind I figured it out. I swear I am mentally challenged sometimes. It was Betty's Garage grounding kit not BB. Again Mentally challenged. I figured this out because I called them directly and AGAIN got top notch customer service.

I am Black Betty. Betty's Garage is just the name of my business. They're the same thing.

Gkad you found the instructions and thanks again for your business.

Your help was much appreciated. You have a life long customer. Once I add the TT kit to the car I really cant tell you how long that will be.

some people feel it's a placebo effect.

i believe after the instillation of my kit that my radio was louder and the transmission was a little faster responding in DS mode.

it's all personal opinion. there's no scientific proof either way...that i have found anyway.



some people have reported that they were having battery charging problems. i personally have not had any problems with mine.

I've wondered about the benefits as well. I'll need to do some research and read around here in the forums. Some claim faster response on their Auto transmissions, are there any benefits to 6MTs that anyone knows right off the bat?

I understand that Black Betty no longer makes the grounding kit? Can anyone here please post the detailed installation instructions please along with the wire guage?

Thanks!

I heard that if Black Betty doesn't look good, he himself, doesn't look good.
