I <3 my ground kit...
Ever since I've had it installed I love how it makes the car idle quieter. I love how even on a dying battery (Analysis = 300/690), the car would just POP and start up -- it would turn over a lot less. And I especially love how precise the 1-2 shift became. Take the car up aggressively to ~4K area and you'll feel the shift shock - it just drops right into place. It's noticeable, but definitely not annoying; unlike the stage-2 VB mod where the car feels like it crashed into something.
Now with a new DieHard Gold in there the car doesn't even turn over - just pop and fires up. I encourage more and more people to do this. It's a very cheap and quite effective mod. =)

(1) Battery Negative to Chassis

(3) Alternator to Engine Block
It's kind like the same thing, but a bit more expensive and geared more towards audio system, but works equally as well in providing the elec system with a constant electron supply.
...but...if you're happy with the grounding kit, more power to ya! Was this a DIY kit or prefabbed? If DIY, what brand wire did you use?

Ohh. I did ground the alt, tranny, engine block, chassis, headlights and TB. But I didn't go from terminal > alt > engine block; they're all connected individually. It was a prefabbed kit I ordered from eBay.

maybe on an 89 crx...but on our cars i really doubt it does anything. i may have to eat my words later since i haven't even bothered with it yet, but i know someone locally with the exact same car as you with the big three and he said it slightly helped his voltage but that's it. i guess i'll have to do it myself and find out. i know weak econo honduhs benefit from new grounds
