Grounding kits

It may be subjective, but I noticed a better shift response after installing the Stillen grd. kit. Everybody tells me that's crap,....but........... I know my car.

He has an automatic.

The entire transmission is controlled by electrical solenoids. How is it crap that a better ground to the transmission could result in more precise shift control?

Can you be a little more specific? Are the shifts faster, more solid, etc... Just curious.

Smoother shifting on my AT, and reduced lag.
No additional power, however.

I noticed you also have a UD Pulley did you install this at the same time as the Grounding Kit? And what are your impression of the UD Pulley do the amps still look good.

I am interested in better throttle and shift response and would think both of these mods would help in that area. The only thing that worries me is the Pulley install looks to be tricky ie the installer could 'F' something up if he beats on the car too much getting the stock pulley off and the UD on.
