The Stillen kit works fine to Ground out the TB's...It's just the instructions that are a little fuzzy. I noticed no difference in throttle response..

I'm sorry but you don't have that connected right. The Kit that I have runs the wires from the TB directly to the the battery.

The Stillen kit was not designed to do that.

I have a 370z Stillen kit and it's not setup the same as the Black Bettys kit.

No connected right? Huh?? Perhaps you do not understand the nature of grounds and ground systems. Not everything needs to run to the battery since it is grounded to the chassis. Any connection to the chassis is a connection to ground. Anybody can make a ground kit up with about $30 worth of wire and ends. This is not rocket science.

Not rocket science; in fact, grounding systems are one big fat con-job. But they look nice! I imagine on a 20-yr old car that was driven in the snow belt, you might get an improvement if you scrape off some oxidation.

Talking

There are points on the eng that help when grounded. If you want to make up your own wires be my guess.. But like you said you want gain anything. I guess not when you just have wires running all over the eng.

If you guys want some help on throttle response get the Black Bettys kit.

Whatever.... Cognitive dissonance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

From "Betty's site:

Q: What components does this set ground?
A: Betty's Garage wiring sets ground the negative battery terminal to the chassis, the engine block to chassis on both the right and left cylinder banks of the engine block, and both throttle bodies to the negative battery terminal. Only one throttle body on 1st generation G35s because they only have one.

Uhhhh...exactly what my routing does. TB to chassis to Battery. It makes no difference to skip the Chassis part..You clearly do not understand the concept here..
