Custom Grounding Kit (w/pics!)

I see the benefits as: easy/quick starts, consistent headlight brightness, bulb longevity, smoother idle, life longevity of starter and alternator, smoother engagement of A/C condenser clutch.

As an institutionally educated AND practicing automotive technician (the proper way to state ones education) I (and every other technician) can attest that most engineers have no idea what's going on and that the placement of most connectors and junctions are put in the most asinine places with no regards to servicing or replacement. Automotive corporations only regard the maximum profit they can make, which means cutting every possible corner they can.
plus, everything electrical in the car needs grounded. the "critical" part is that there is not enough. you can't have "too much ground," any electrical engineer will know this...

LOL - proper...

This is definitely not worth turning into a p...ing contest over, but as I mentioned above, every circuit needs a ground with equal ampacity (accounting for conductor capacity, length and thermal characteristics) to that of its supply. Beyond that there is no benefit.

If you want to prove that you have actually improved your electrical system use a storage scope to record the voltage to each of the devices you believe you have benefited with and without your additional ground wires. If the voltage drop is less during the peak current draw events for the given device, then you have indeed assisted that device.
