how much should one of these cost and where? ebay has it for 15 bucks, but that seems a bit high for a 10 inch wire with two round ends caps.

 

You can make your own out of 4 -> 8 gauge speaker wire, probably will be cheaper.

Unless your current one is in really bad condition then don't bother, the performance difference is going to be next to non-existant.

 

Yeah...make your own...hit up an some kind of an electrical store and get some thick stranded 4 awg wire and some ring connectors. Cheaper and just as good

 

does that really make a big difference? ive heard both yes and no.

 

no

Even the advanced "Earthing systems", which replace all the ground wires and use some chain method, provide little to no performance advantages.

 

you can buy that same grounding cable at autozone for like $3.99. and then you can just get some shielded battery cable with ring connectors on each end for about the same price (4 guage i think).

 

one of the magazines a month or two ago did the test. It gave it decent power considering the grounding kit was 100 bucks. ill look for it.

 

anyone know the gains not from hearsay, but actual personal testimony?

 

From switching out my ground wire to monster cables, there was no noticeable gain if any, however I noticed a smoother idle

 

No, I did dyno runs with the valve cover ground strap on and off. No difference, plus I have been running years without the valve cover ground strap, which I am convinced that was placed there for battery jumping purposes.

 

JEsus! its just for ShoW! not a performance mod!!

 

I don't see why people do this. Why would say something ignorant like that when there are people IN THIS VERY THREAD that have posted up that magazines have done tests and gotten positive results and there are others IN THIS VERY THREAD that have personal experience of gains.

Is it a problem of stubborness or just not reading the thread?

That was in import tuner. They had an s2000 and claimed it gained 10hp... dunno how true that is tho

 

i have seen that the whole ground kit gave 2-3hp on the dyno

 

check summit racing, in my catalog they have them made by taylor for 4.99, i think i answered you intial question with out involving myself in the big debate

 

OMG...you could use extension cable and it will work just a good as that (14 gauge x 4)! not like its gold plated or something! and even if it was...its not like its electric pluses for sound...its low voltage semi-high ampage! gesh!

 

Do I have to start following you and responding to every ... EDIT: "uninformed" ... post you make?

From what I've read (yes, reading and learning, an innovative concept...) the wires must be of very high quality to work any better than stock wires. They have to be low resistance and pure. That's why the other kit that everyone is talking about costs like $100.
