Anyone Local do Grounding Kits

I've been reading about grounding kits, and JD actually put me on to the fact that a lot of folks in Dallas w/ ATs have Grounding kits.. Does anyone make their own? I've also been reading in all the other threads that Stillen's kit sux.. Just wondering if we have some local talent when it comes to grounding kits..

I have a grounding kit on mine ... I think it was a "Gordgee" kit (forum guy that made them himself and shipped them out).

You can check mine out Saturday if you're at the meet!

I made my own grounding Kit when I bought my 03 g35c. It was pretty easy and cheap. The most expensive price was the tool that I used to crimp the connectors. I don't have the crimper with me but can get it from my parent's garage the next time I see them. I got the instructions fom the freshalloy.com site a while back. I can help you make them if you like.

Did you get any results? I've heard that MTs don't get that much out of a grounding kit?

I had it on my car for several years but never noticed any difference on the butt dyno. I don't know any way to measure it other than putting it on a dyno before and after the grounding kit, which I never did.

Not necessarily performance HP, but the car being more responsive(lag of gear switching erradicated(mainly in ATs I hear), gears switching more smoothly (mainly in ATs I hear), lights shining brighter, etc)

I got a swagging tool for anyone that wants to make their own grounding kits. They are real easy to make.

I used to make grounding kits, but stopped b/c the market got too competitive. Takes a long time to cut and crimp all the wires too. I still have the terminal crimp tool as well.
