why do you say that?

Better grounds are good and cheap mod. Even if they don't add HP, having more secure grounds will give you the most out of the cars electrical system.

i think it was TRP magazine that did dyno runs of like 5 or 6 different ground kits on a miata and forgot the other car, well the miata actually lost hp, and the other car did gain with certain kits, but it would fluctuate. So there iffy

most of the time from what i've seen it's a waste of money. If you do get a gain it is very very minimal and for the most part this car has pretty solid grounding to start with. I'm just gonna say to save your money and spend it on another mod but that's my $.02

We just had a thread about this, I dont think its worth it, while Cwestin believes it is. He had all the facts on it.

refer to this thread.

HKS, Sun Auto, Apex, Buddy Club and other companies would not bother making grounding kits if they were junk.

yep, if you try to hide the wires, you bring them closer to the EJ20's exhaust manifold, which is really hot.

Why cant the wires be cleaner like along the edge of the engine bay? They are laying on top of everything. Now if that was a Honda engine bay, would the wires be right on top of the valve cover?

the wires are a certain length for a reason, and this way works fine. you can't run it along the radiator, cuz that is very hot. If this was a Honda engine you have to be an idiot to put the wires right on top of the valve cover. that is not how people do it.
