We connected a ground from the battery, to the brake booster, to the factory grounding point on the chassis. We then added an engine ground to the factory grounding point. All together 3 wires.

Check it out.
MAN, besides being completely unnecessary (not even useful as bling) I would really be interested as to just how gains are even thought about with that mod. I'd be especially interested as to how the folks would try to explain that.

Having had to do with electricity for too long in my life I can tell you: *IF* there is a gain then you have something wrong with the car in the first place. Most components are meta to metal connections and with MUCH more contact that you can provide.

Seriously, any claim of power gain would let my BS meter go to red.
