wont provide any difference. ground works in conjunction w/ how much amperage you pull. stock size ground(10gauge?) is plenty for most applications

well technically, me being an electrician, better ground equals better path for current to flow. now considering your spark plugs need a good ground, upgrading all you ground connections, will improve ignition.

10gauge wire is good for only 30amps

10ga wire on 12v system is not good for much.

10ga on 120v system is alot.

see it is directly proportional. 120v and 10 amp equals 1200watts.

now divide 1200watts by 12v and see what your amps are..

see, its theory based. good ground= good current flow.

I sell those grounding cables for $15 shipped.
if you want the whole system it cast $145 shipped
the whole system includes:
charge line from alternator to fusebox,
battery to fuse box
battery to chassis
block to chassis
valve cover to chassis.
all 4 ga with gold ends for good connections
