Default apexi super ground kit

well i went to my local shop today and they had this super ground kit just came in. i dont think my honda has the best grounds ever( that lil brown wire from the chassis to the head). so i thought id give this super ground a try.
i checked on the apexi web site and it said that the grounding kit made power. approx 8.5hp on a subaru. im not a sucker when the company advertises power gains. i actually wasnt expecting anything. all i could think is that the subaru had bad grounds to begin with and the ground kit just restored horsepower. anybody have any experience with this set-up? including ,installation, gains, horror stories, anything at all? thanks in advance.

Based on friends who have upgraded their grounding with a earthing kit, they've experience good results, smoother acceleration, idling, eliminating noise in their stereo. As for gains in hp, not anything noticable.

I don't believe a better ground adds HP & Throttle response. I'd like to see a dyno before I buy $80 worth of wire.
