More the better, if you can you should see about running a ground from the alternator itself to the battery, that would be more beneficial than to the transmission lol.

Don't know if you have done it but I did just that engine ground in your pic no help really.

The alt mounting bolt should be long enough to do aground from that to battery but I haven't tried yet.

I ground to frame or strut tower, ground the casing of the alternator, maybe a bracket on it or if you can drill and tap something. Also you should have a ground going to the engine block. Never hurts to have to many grounds. lol

Well I did do the big 3, my voltage sits at around 14.3-14 while playing... But lights do dim after turning up till 35. I am having trouble with engine whine coming through the antenna.
