You won't see any other results from that. No real performance gains on that one.

No lag when i hit the throttle now, i hated the tc for the lag when i first got it, grounding kit fixed that. I let my dad drive my car before and after the mod (he is a mechanic), not telling him what i did, and i asked him if it was any different and he agreed that there is almost no lag now, he noticed the lag right away when he drove my tc for the first time. Maybe its in our heads but i don't think so. I'm sure it helped the sound system too since i did that and big 3. Either way doesn't hurt and if you make it yourself its cheap.
