*I wasn't sure If I should post it in DIY or Engine Tech, so I chose the forum with the most traffic*
I've already purchased 4ga Monster ground cable and some 4ga connectors. I've already created 2 ground wires by crimping on the connectors, and then soldering them using a propane torch. After that I wrapped the ends with heat shrink. Later on I will use wire tubing to cover the ground wires up, along with a healthy coat of silicone-based dielectric grease on all of the connections.
Anyways, I'm not sure of the grounding points:
Should I ground the valve cover? If so where?:
So far I have:
1. Replaced the driver's side engine mount ground wire
2. Added a new Battery->Chassis ground wire
3. Made a Battery->Engine Block ground wire (just need to get the correct sized bolt)
What about the throttle body, alternator, and transmission? On the valve cover, should I attach the wire close to the VTEC Solenoid (where is it? I heard someone metion doing on a board somewhere
) Is there a "sweet spot" on the throttle body? Will mounting a ground cable on the alternator body and running it to the negative (-) battery terminal be a good idea?

1) battery to chassis ground (opposite the battery... Also, covers 1 of the big 3)
2) battery to intake manifold
3) intake manifold to opposite side of the engine head (in the front)
4) from the engine head to the tranny
5) from the engine head back to the battery
It's one big daisy chain. 6/8 AWG power wire should suffice...
While you're at it... You might as well address the Big 3 just in case you have dimming lights whenever your bass hits HARD.
1) #1 from above
2) engine to chassis ground
3) alternator to battery cable run
