theoretically, it helps the ECU to think better, but, In reality, I'm not sure.

a magazine did a dyno test on it, i believe the apexi (dont take my word on it) has gained good amount of all around power, 2-4? in the power band. good gains.

probably something to do with efficiency.. not sure how it is related. but remember if ur car isnt grounded properly it will not funtion properly.. my bf has a hks circle earth system on his civic it made my the headlights brighter for sure.. power gains probably wont be found via buttdyno..

correct. grounding kits are not about power gain, but to better ground all the currents. a cheap diy with 4g wire will do just as well as any expensive kit out there.

i'd just grounded my car for better ground current. Did the DIY ground wires for about $20ish plus I also added the hyper voltage. Didn't notice anything different, car still felt the same. Probably it's all in the mind when people think it actually makes the car faster, who knows its just my opinion
