Will it never INCREASE hp, or tq, NEVER. Cannot, however it can regain lost hp by coverting all ground eletricity. Just use high grade speaker wire, no need to buy the fancy high priced stuff.

don't worry about gold connectors either because the other side has to be gold for there to be any benefit, and I doubt your motor is gold plated.

Were they by any chance the same company that makes the electric supercharger, or the Tornado system?

It'll regain whatever loss you suffer from a POORLY grounded system. So don't expect much.
