I've upgraded my electrical wires for more electrical flow, but I don't notice any change in charging. Does anyone know of any good engine block to chasis ground points and neg battery to chasis ground points?

You won't see a change in charging until you upgrade your alternator.

I'm running a 160-amp performance alternator, and only upgraded the gauge of wire from the alternator to the battery. I use OEM grounds. Just make sure they'e clean and have dielectric grease on them.

When fully charged, my battery doesn't demand much from the alternator. You will typically only see a high charge rate if you battery is in need of charging or you've got alot of demand (amps, headlights, etc).
