Default New/different take on grounding kit?

Don't know if this has been discussed before (didn't see anything), but this product claims to provide increased ignition performance by grounding the coil packs on the engine. (personally, I've been kind of chuckling at it, just based on the fact that it's a Weapon R product...) Thoughts? Viable concept or should this be tossed in the snake oil bin along with the Tornado and other products of the like?

Hmm...looks pretty cool, but for the price it's an expensive piece of shiny metal.

Copper is best

Splitfire makes a similar product for other vehicles.

Aluminum is a great conductor. Copper is indeed better, but way more expensive. Any large size electrical wires (like the ones that feed entire buildings and such) are normally aluminum. It's cheeper and lighter.

I used to be an electrician.
