Thumbs up 12 wire grounding kit installed

well after having the kit installed for a week, i must say that there are very noticeable differences. the car is not as notchy when changing gears and the throttle response is alittle crispier. now i have to see if i gain any gas mileage. maybe not but who knows. i must say tyler uses high quality wires and clips. we were thinking that 12 wires may be a bit over kill but, he said if he can use it as a ground then he would. i must also say that it is very neat. you don't see wires running all through the engine bay. thanks again tyler and hope you business does very well because you make a great product.

I don't see how a grounding kit could have this effect, but cool as long as it works for you.

Does the maker of this kit have any dyno charts to show the gains on a 6 wire kit and then additional gains for a 12 wire kit?

I do.
I like to know what works and what does not before I spend my money for performance improvements.

I don't think anybody realistically expects a gain in hp between a 6 & 12 wire kit. I don't even expect any gain for my 8 wire kit.

Looks cool...smooths things out...cheap mod...enough for me.

you can't expect much if any gains from the dyno.. some magazines have shown a 1-3 hp gain, but really, the grounding kit is just like what moog said, to smooth the car out..

Guys, when you say "smooth things out" what exactly are you reffering to? I just installed my 6-wire grounding kit over the weekend and I must say the placebo effect occured the first drive afterwards, but on the way to work this morning I noticed no difference whatsoever.

Ok, but how could a grounding kit influence transmission? The grounding kit's sole purpose, if I'm not mistaken, is to ground electrical surges.
