Yeah they work, they give your motor a better ground and everything. If your motor grounds better it'll have a bit more power.. it's not like a lot of power but it'll help you out some.

These things are a scam, just like fuel line ionizers and "Tornado" intake systems.

If you want to reground your engine, just buy some 2g wire scraps from a local stereo shop. It shouldn't cost you more than $10.

honestly that's a different one from what I've seen before.. so i'm not sure how that one works.. the one that I used had a grounding post on it with the ground wires coming off to the motor..

yeah cause the wires that came off the grounding post that I had were like 4g wires for it.. so I think that Eran is right on the wires, but if that's what they were using on there car then you could buy it and find out for yourself..

Tell you what OP. Go dyno your car, put that hunk of **** on and dyno it again and see how much it helps. I bet it will be fractions of a HP

The only type of voltage stabalizer that helps you in any way and it would still be very miniscule would be something more along the lines of Buddy Club's stabalizer/grounding kit. Basically it only improves electrical response by a small integer and in my opinion as well as many others, it's a complete waste of money and time, especially that POS that was posted not worth it homey
