The idle jump is still there, but it's much smoother and less severe than it was before. I have tested it in a variety of circumstances and even on a cold day with the front/rear defrost on, A/C on, headlights on and the stereo cranking I have yet to have it drop to the point that it feels like it wants to stall, something that was constantly bugging me on my morning commute when I first bought the car... and I found that running with the A/C off was the only way to prevent it. So in conclusion, there is an advantage to reinforcing the chassis ground if this "about to stall" feeling has been bothering you. Because Subarus have historically had lousy factory grounds, based on my observed results, there is also sufficient argument that reinforcing the grounds on the block and tranny might be worth pursuing.

I don't know first hand, but it's likely 4 awg. It might be 8 awg, but I'd recommend 4 awg minimum.
