Default Grounding Kits

Made a DIY grounding kit for myself, have enough wire to make some others if any interest. Here are the details:

99.9% Oxygen Free 8 gauge copper wire. 600 strand hi density grounding cable
Set includes 5 cables cut to fit ITR/Civic/Teg
Each Cable Terminated with gold plated ring terminal connectors
Each Connector Soldered to Wire and Shrink Tube Covered
Zip Ties and Instructions included

30$ U.S. shipped anywhere states Via Paypal, IM me for details

I have seen many posts on results and a few dynos supporting the alleged gains. After install I saw a difference in throttle response, instant starts and brighter headlights. here are some pics:

What grounding points do you use? Are your connections soldered?

Can you make a kit for an H22A powered 4th generation (1993) Honda Accord?

yes, connections are all soldered and then shrink tube wrapped. The grounding points I used were: Battery to Trans, Front Rad to Valve cover, Valve cover to firewall, firewall to intake, intake to dist block. Have not had a chance to mess around with grounding points with a dyno, I am waiting on a fields controller and will dyno a session with the wires then.
I can make a kit for an Accord, no problem

The wire cover is slightly smoked, but the copper shows right through. i redid the pics a few minutes ago, you can see the wire better in them.

2 things:
1. nice thread hijack fuknutt.
2. Sun auto uses 8 gauge, and it isnt the gauge of the wire its the number of strands in the wire. I am using monster hi current 8 gauge. 600 strand wire. If you want to sell your flea market 4 gauge wire grounding kit make your own thread dikhead.

LOL that cute girl will be up for crabs soon as i get my 19" wheels off her gsr. then anyone can have her. lol girls are like candy you can find them anywhere. Hijacking trends are fun. but your right about the strands of wiring. i use stinger pro series which has the highest strand count. thats what stinger says.

What is the advantage of all the grounding? Or better put, how does grouding affect throttle response and other factors?

Thanks.

throttle response is a little crisper, I am waiting on a Fields Vtec controller, then i will baseline and move the grounds around prior to doing any fuel tuning.

brian, IM'd you. To all that have paid me, i am sending kits out tomorrow morning. My grandmother passed away and i just got back into town.
As far as dynoing, i will be doing some pulls in the next week or so, just got my Fields, and as soon as it is hooked up i will be tuning.
I still have enough for a few more kits, should have the gold ring connectors in the next 2 days or so.
