Bill, thanks for your help.

I'm never going to your house again. While you did a fabulous job of letting me assist you install the grounding kit, did a few other tricks on the car, and convinced me you should be named the local rotary guru, when I got home I had a #10 sheet metal bolt stuck in my tire.

hehe...thanks for your help. I really appreciate it. I owe you a daiquiri or something the weekend of the Z meet

Oh...the tire is fixed. post Katrina I own a plug kit and a pump. heh

I'm going to run a wire from each coil. Even if it does nothing, I don't mind spending the time, and I have the wires. Meh...neon green zip ties? I have a bunch of them since I use them on the r/c heli.

Yeah, my car is running much better now. If you guys can feel an increase in performance I may still do the grounding kit.

The butt dyno does not make me feel like there is any increase in performance. And I (unfortunaetly) have not really driven all that much since I installed the grounding kit.

Kind of up to you. It took us 30 minutes to install.

We did a few other things, like completely clean the engine compartment, make the throttle body more compatible with the hot weather down here, and checked out a few things.

Also, spoke with Keith today. The HKS ignition is a warranty voider. And my brakes are only about 1/2 worn down. Looks like I'll either be calling Racing Beat or getting the complete REVi intake on sale at another web site. I left the link on myh work computer, so if you want it, PM me tomorrow morning and I'll get you the link. You'll save 50-75.

And Paretti sucks.

Kieth's trying to get a good price on the Optima red tops if anyone is interested. He said he would give me a call when he finalized a deal.
