Default Grounding/Powering wideband for temporary use?

Any recommendations? Trying to hook up my dynojet wideband. I just need it hooked up for tuning purposes. I already know I can use fuse slot #22 on the passenger side fusebox for the switched power. I am just not sure what the best place to ground is for temporary use.

I suppose I should just run alligator clips to both the pos/neg terminals. Not sure how secure this will be doing WOT runs though.


Is it ok to put two ground wires into one alligator clip?

Heres how I have my AFX wideband set up for tuning. Wires through the firewall under the battery box, to the cockpit. Never had a problem with the clips coming off.
