how bout going to a stereo shopbuying 20 ft. of 8 guage wire and some connectors. wouldn't that be just as good? it doesn't say spoon or some brand name but i don't think it's going to make a differance.

i agree. it's seems to be cheaper and you make adjustments on the grounds to your liking.

how the hell did u get a hyper ground kit for 40 bucks on ebay? What brand are they? are they the ones from Sun Auto? cuz i've been searching for some on ebay too and the cheapest i found from Sun Auto where about 120 bucks. are all the ground wires kits the same?(the ones that are $9, compared to the ones that are $40 to the Sun Auto ones that are $120)? any help will be appreciated

another consideration, if you have, or plan to install a hondata intake gasket, relocate the ground from the im, to the valve cover as the gasket makes the ground wire non-functional if left on the intake...

I just wanted to revive this old thread since im considering this also.. and i found an article Here to back up with Dyno results..4.2 hp just from proper grounding.. thats a decent gain considering what you spend to get a few extra hp out of an intake or exhaust.. now just to find a walkthrough of how to properly ground if it does not state in the kit..

edited:.. just wanted to add that after looking at the kit again for 100 bucks i would probably just replace all grounds in engine bay with 8gauge wire made myself .. since thats what this seems to be

I have only installed the neg batt cable and terminal and the head and I def noticed a change in headlight brightness and gauge lights ect... plan on finishing the others later.

It was a kit on ebay for 7.00 + 18.00 ( shipping O.o ) = $25 total.

Took a week or so to get to me, but I have a feeling it is going to be worth it in the end.

Hate to say it guys but most of your grounds all you need is something to clean the grounding locations up with. The wires themselves are almost never corroded, you just need to clean up the contact points.
