Default Ground wire question..

I found this setup a guy did on clubcivic.com where he daisy chained his ingition coils together, and hooked all the grounds together and changed it all to 4 guage wires.. I've already changed the one from the radiator to the thermostate (i guess that's where it is?) to 4 guage, but I was just wondering what - if anything - this would do? I am not looking at "better acceleration" or "more HP" obviously from this, but for a couple of bucks would it hurt?

I have a grounding kit, I noticed my system was more stable and less noise in the speakers.

By "system was more stable"... what do you mean? Also, he says he gets better gas milage, and "feels a bit more on acceleration"... is that possible just with a better ground line?

no it should not really help with accel. or anything just some electricity moving a little better to your distributor and stuff but I highly doubt it.
