Default Grounding auto trans

I have read numerous times that on the 5at that if you ground the trans some of the delay goes away....where do you ground the trans, from what point on the trans to what point on the body? what gauge wire?

Has any one done this.....what are the results? any help would be great

As far as I know, a valve body upgrade is all you can do.

True, but the difference it does make is pretty dramatic, even with a conservative upgrade like the Stillen version. My guess is it will never be possible to take away ALL lag.

if youre doing extra grounding points, all you need to do is ground on bolts nearest the sensors. obviously dont ground to the sensor but anything close is fine. also, run whatever gauge you like. typically, the bigger the better so if you run like 4-8 gauge its usually enough, but you could run 000 if you wanted

is it best to ground directly to the battery or just a common ground on the block/frame/whatever we can find?
