As an EE I say these kits are useless and if you understand electronics you'll know why. For example, does your air/fuel ratio change when you have the headlights on? Or the defroster? Or your stereo? No it doesn't, so how does lowering wire resistance "help"; it doesn't.

The *only* way they "improve" a car is if the existing wires are damaged.

Default Ground it

Hey.. cool to hear you got your apexi ground up and running... I'm only allowed 5 posts a day for some stupid reason.. I hooked up the sun hyper ground and the MR box last night... The car does pull better through out the gears with a better throttle response.. The lights on the dash are brighter then before... Go figure huh

** I got some nology wires and silver plugs, have not had time to install yet. I'll post when I do to let who ever is interested on the results of that.. **

yes. he is right. this only fixes existing problems. it will not add HP or voltage to an otherwise normal running car. its a scam kinda like the tornado air thing!

i have the buddy club ground wires and I think they are awesome. Vtec hits harder, and i feel everything more responive and alive. I have mine connected to the body, tranny and intake manifold. Its not a whole lot of improvement hp wise, but i thought it was worth it.

Butt dynos don't work. Care to post a dyno slip to back that up? If it runs better now it means either the old wires were bad to begin with, and/or the new wires fixed a bad tune by shifting the fuel map. If the car was tuned right to begin with there would be no measurable difference..

A properly tuned car will work just fine with stock ground wires. A properly tuned car will work identically with aftermarket wires.

So if the car "feels" faster there's no reason to dyno it... okay.

you're still using the butt dyno to substantiate your claims on honda-tech. what are you, a regular in the appearance section?

whatever the case, if i were you i'd just stop posting and take a good 6 months to read what people who actually know what they're talking about have to say.

My car has a turbernator, a electic superchargher, and a ebay chip. Also I gots high powered spark plugs and purple ground wirez. When teh vtech kicks in at 33.5 mHz I be makin mad power y0!

Seriously though, the ground wires don't add more power. I find it funny that you trust whatever the company selling the product says. If that were the case an intake would add 15hp. Ground wires can't hurt, but there is no difference between an ebay kit an an expensive one. Saying that you felt huge gains, etc is just sad. It might add as much power as indexing your plugs.
