Question for the outback guys

Well my dad has finally agreed to let me work some magic on his 2000 Outback when the warrenty expires in a few months. He won't let me go psycho with the mods so anything close to outside the box is a no. He wants to improve the car as a whole (better everything) for a couple thou. I need some advice from some experienced legacey/outback owners on where to start because my experience so far comes from imprezas.

Did I mention nothing too outside the box. I don't think he'll take to well to me strapping an aftermarket turbo to his unmodded outback.

Does the grounding mod really do that much?

effectiveness of grounding mod

it really depends on the model year involved.. from what i've heard from others who've done it... the later subies (after '00?) have better grounding. If you're experiencing hesitation, less than consistent idling, etc., then i'd say it'll be worth it.

my impressions of my grounding mod are that power delivery is smoother, less hesitation, engine's more responsive, it's a better driving experience.
