Default LC1 ground questions. did search and found conflicting answers

I am getting ready to install my LC1 in my car and have a question regarding the grounding. The LC1 manual says to solder the blue and white wires together and install them on the motor, i was going to use the back of the cylinder head, however when looking on here and on hpt forums alot of people are saying to move the grounds farther apart and only use the heater ground (blue) on the back of the head

which setup is best and if your running an LC1 how do you have yours wired and does it function correcting. this will not be setup in place of a narrowband 02

thanks

Not sure if it is the best but I tied my white and blue together and then ran that wire to the back of the passenger head. I think the thing you want to avoid is multiple connectors on a single lug. My setup is working well right now.

Same thing I did with no problems for more than a year.

just finished mine. Haven't tested it out yet but I also ran mine to the back of the head on a single lug. The directions say for them to go to a single lug on the back of the head and if not possible, the next best is multiple lugs on the same location.

Soldered the 2 together and mounted them to the back of the head.

Mine are also soldered and grounded to the head; only in front on mine since I can't get my big *** hands to the empty holes on the back of the head.
