Default Grounding

I want to get the Hyperground Systems grounding kit:
http://www.sunautomobile.com



or the Arospeed kit (8 wires, but uses one grounding point)



I looked in the engine bay:



and, I could only find 3 stock grounding points:

battery -> engine bay front




battery -> tranny?



engine mount -> body



Are there more ground points that I've missed? So far I've heard of alternator, firewall, and intake/throttle body ground points. Do we only have 3 stock ground points?

I've heard of grounding the valve cover. What are these two threaded holes for? Would I connect a wire from either of these 2 points:



to the engine mount ground?:




what else have you all grounded/upgraded?
I'm thinking I'll:

1. Upgrade engine mount ground
2. Add valve cover ground
3. Upgrade battery -> engine bay front ground

How do I do the other points?

I think it's $63? Someone on another board told me that.

BTW, would you believe that I've never washed the engine bay?

Only 5300 miles on the odo.

remember, that the Arospeed kit uses one grounding point, while the Hyperground kit lets you use multiple grounding points. But they could have at least included more wires for $100+

But if that's a good ground, it's all good right? More grounds=more possible problem areas.

you're probably right, but then again, the only wire I would be replacing would be the engine mount -> chassis. I would only be adding more wires, which should only help.

HyperGround. It's just a bunch of wires, and a battery terminal clip. plus a few other fittings. The price seems too high, but at least we know it works:
