Don't toss the grounding straps in there. They do work. Stock cars are engineered with enough ground strap for the ignition supplied, but if you increase the spark voltage or duration you might have a restriction that hampers performance through the stock grounding system. In racing applications they do lower ET's, but you need to be near redline to observe any benifit. On a street car they are, as you point out, worthless.
Stupid question here on ground straps. I've got a Jeep that's slightly lifted, on REALLY cold days it shocks the hell outta me. Like all the time and bad. Entering, exiting, starting, etc.
Is it not properly grounded?

Lol, thanks!
I poked around online - looks like every car does it just from the dry air of winter / the heater and the static buildup of your butt against the seat.
Guess the only reason my MB doesn't do it is because its leather and/or the AC runs with the heater.

With the AC running, the air actually gets drier.
You must have a cloth interior...my Jeep is leather, the only shocks I get are at the gas pump.

Comeon, don't put RC motors in a Mercedes.
I remember back in High School a friend of mine put computer fans in his 91 Honda Accord. It didn't do anything and looked retarded. Half the time they'd kill his battery because he would forget to turn them off.
