i went from the chassis to the AFM, i went to the battery to the trans/block. i went from the head to the block. the coil, the igniter and the chassis, then to the head near the valve cover. i also added a strap from near the SC inlet to the intake manifold near the head. for chassis grounds, i scraped all of the paint from underneath the bolt i was using. after installing the ground strap, i sprayed the area with CRC 656 Marine grade lubricant/dessicant. i also added a ground strap from the ECU case to another chassis ground. i made my own grounding 'system' (haha) and used all flat braid wire ranging from 14 AWG-00AWG.

i have an SC, so it'll be different.
not to be a jerk, but it's pretty self-explanatory, but here you go anyway:
chassis=sheetmetal
head= aluminimum top half of engine
block= bottom half of the engine
transmission= not the engine
afm= about where most people do some sort of cone airfilter
ecu= car computer underneath the grey cover in the boot (trunk)

i was just concerned on the afm and ecu portion of it, i know your not a jerk, but i never had much luck working on cars, im a guy who had his hand crushed by the headlight cover trying to change the headlights, im i will never look at my care the same way.

i just lightly sanded the afm body next to a mount, then i used the spot to mount the strap and then i went to the chassis where i also attached the negative battery cable.
