Normally I agree with everything you say fugiot, but I have to disagree with the gain of 1-3 horsepower. I would say you might gain 1HP on a good day, but thats the best. I would say the smoother idle, and a slight gain in gas mileage are the best you can hope for with a grounding kit. And I would not buy a custom ground kit unless you want it to look nice. Instead just go to Radio Shack and have them cut you about 10 feet of 4 gauge wire, and look online for the grounding points, if you google it, I'm sure you will find them, and do it yourself for less than 10 bucks.
Oh I just remembered you have a SR20DE fugiot, maybe you get better gains from the kit than a GA16DE, but on a GA16DE it's gonna be so small it probably wouldn't show up on a dyno.
