I'm pretty sure that ground strap is pretty much for radio interference, but still - it's always better to have it correctly connected.

yeah.... I agree with ya Pat... and manufacturers generally don't install/design grounding points just for giggles. So I'd make sure it was squared away properly.

Pat is correct. It's there to suppress radio interference from your injectors.
