it does smooth out acceleration, makes a little more snappy. it may be more placebo than there being a big difference. the only grounding kit I've seen that really does anything noticeable is the Buddy Club race spec Condenser.
You may feel more of a difference if your 5 is atx.
IMO, it is worth it if you make the ground wire yourself.

Mating an optimized/port and polished TB with a TB ground will prove more impressive gains.

You will notice a LOT more with an Auto. I did the advance on my truck and it TOTALLY worth it, but again, its auto.
I have done the TBG and it seemed like it change the shifting a bit. I did it, and didn't tell the wiff, so she thought she was "shifting like shit" for a couple days. If you like the more "race" feel then its enjoyable.... I prefer smoother shifting - less jerky.
I didn't notice any accel difference. On the other hand, turn off the A/C and HOLY CRAP! haha.

I thought this applied to cars with 'drive by the wire' setups. anyone confirm/deny this?

your right, it is only cars with drive by wire. I think the saturn is a cable driven but I will have to look tonight.
