Default RE: Ground system install.

when the spark plugs fire, they do it through 2 connections, one where the wire goes in and hooks to the plug, and the other is where the plug screws into the head, so if you dont have good ground wires from the block/head to the chassis of the car, then the spark will be a little weaker, so a grounding kit is a bunch of new, high quality wire that replaces the stock cheap wires.

One of those 4AWG cables would have done the trick..

A litle redundant but looks very nice!
