No grind or anything. I'm just curious.
I think it is magnified 100x so you can see the difference in HP that the grounding kit adds. The vertical scale is in 1/10 hp increments.

When I want to smooth the idle out, I turn on the AC.

i do believe the grounding kit DOES provide benefit. simply saying a circuit is either grounded or not is just not true. a good ground will provide a more consistent voltage with less flucation than a poor ground. and that is what most grounding kits are advertising they provide. a more robust ground to level out voltage fluctuations if i understand them correctly.

as an example consider power sources. you wouldn't say a power source either provides current or it doesn't. while they may provide the same peak voltage and current ratings, some deliver it smoothly and others suffer from noise or voltage fluctuations. the idea is to minimize the noise and fluctuations of the power source to provide a smoother delivery of current. if a grounding kit can do that then it works and has benefit.

that said. hp claims on grounding kits are arguably questionable. since the hp gains in question are so small it's difficult to determine if the gains are from the grounding kit or simply fluctuations between runs.

Sorry about that. RPM vs. Frequency.

BTW, I hardly feel grinded. I am always open for questions
