HKS grounding kit installed...surprising results!

those interested, save your cash, or better yet, if you have the money burning a hole in your pocket, send it my way, I am looking for some cash to pay for my new cams, headstuds, gauges, and headgaskets

I agree with zivman. If you want a better ground for the car, buy some thicker wire. My cousin who has installed car stereo for 20 years agrees as well.
Keep in mind the flow of electricity is from negative to positive, so grounding does help, but it doesn't require a $200 kit. More like $5 in wire.

In addition to a grounding kit, a thicker battery ground is a good idea, as is a thicker alternator ground... 4 AWG is probably thick enough.

It's your money so feel free to **** it away.
^Dude, that's really nice, who cares~
Can anyone help?
