i dunno about 5hp.. maybe 1hp.. but the idea is to get better grounding conductivity.. with our Hondas, if you look at your ground wire, it probably looks really rust-color... so could be worth a replacement regardless.

Why does no one believe in the ground wire mod? Almost everyone on here has their own theory about the best place to ground a car. Import Tuner already has at least 5 dynos of cars with significant increases. And they are not to the flywheel either. The only thing different about the import tuner cars is that they are dyno'd each time a ground is installed. You will read that power was lost when a certain point was grounded. Its almost like tuning your ground wires. -=o)
For 15 bucks its worth the money, for 100 its not.
