OK Adventurer I took the truck out to stretch it's legs this afternoon. A little cruising and a WOT acceleration on the interstate. Then I stopped in the driveway and unhooked the cable, put a balloon over the end that was ground to chassis so it wouldn't be touching metal and went back out to compare while the feel of driving with the mod was fresh.

100% definite now that there is a perceptible improvement in throttle response, hell even my tranny shifts felt crisper (and I have SC's advanced tranny tuning). I don't know how this would effect the transmission, but I ain't gonna argue with it. The difference isn't huge, but it's there...

Yes that's what i wanted to hear from you, i noticed the difference on my truck even with my DS custom tune (PCM & TCM) as i mentioned before, thanks for your feed back Hammer
Now am thinking to enforce the engine and tranny Grounding to see if that will make a difference too

Step by step guide:

Use this bolt on the Throttle body:

There she is.
Triple braided 16 gauge with gold connectors and a sporty red electrical tape finish that adds 10whp.
The more red on your engine, clearly the more whp. XD

So I finally got a day off and went out this morning and did mine. As soon as I backed out of my driveway and took off down the road I noticed that the throttle had a much faster response when I hit the gas. The shifting was more aggressive and quicker also. Even when I slammed on the gas there was a noticeable difference in throttle response, gears shifting and a smile on my face. Nice mod and it was free. A guy at work hooked me up. I used 6 gauge. Here are some pics of my work.

This Free Mod works. I used solid 10 gage. Smooth idle. Definately better throttle response. I also notice that trans shifting is more pronounced.

Well I tried this.... did NOTHING at idle, going to have to do some more "testing" Tomorrow and Sunday and see how it drives. So far though, not impressed.

I would imagine your rough idle is more a result of the cam/tune than a simple TB grounding issue...
