I'm interested in the effect it had on cars with 6mt. I've searched and found a few posts, but they don't seem to be as conclusive as from those drivers who tried it with AT.

most 6MT don't bother with them.

IIRC, Gordgee's GG is about $150. I will likely get one eventually.

Nice thing about Gordgee's GG for us Canucks is;
  • made in Canada
  • paid for in Canuck Bucks
  • no cross border shipping

Here are TONS of reviews (all 100% positive) of my kit on 6MT and 5AT.

There nothing wrong with American made right?

PM me what price you find on the other kit and I will beat it, including shipping costs.

At risk of sounding like a pessimist, i'm not completely sold on grounding kits. most people install them along with other parts as part of a "garage day" and say "its sooo much smoother and accelerates faster". Most of whom are posting this are owners of Galants, grand ams and camrys where there isn't a plethora of aftermarket for worth while mods.

Am i insane? I installed a set on a vr6 gti and noticed absolutely nothing. Modern cars have very sensetive ecu's, tcu's and contorl madules that need a consistant, good ground source. I can't see the factory systems being insufficiant.

I met with GordGee about a week ago, and picked up a smoke color ground kit. I think it was $160-190?? for a 6mt I moved a bunch of my wires around with my wire tuck and I was having some issues that I thought might be grounding related. It turned out to be something else but I don't think you can go wrong with some extra grounding.

Anyway i bought mine not expecting a performance increase(with the power I am making it would be hard to see anything less than 50whp gains). I will say it is a nice kit with good instructions. I would recommend it if you want a ground kit and Gord was a great guy that has been involved in our community for along time for a local guy.
