Grounding Kit 7 point 8ga.

Ok i just installed my 7 point 8ga grounding kit i bought off ebay. Yes EBAY.
anyways i was pretty skeptical about this grounding kit giving you any type of performance. But i thought to myself if nothing else at least i will have better grounding for all the electrical components on the car. My reaction after the install? WOW. For $48 it feels like i got more performance then my kinetix plenum. Oh yea the kit also came with a voltage stabilizer.

Cmon someone buy this thing and try it. it's only $48 shipped with a voltage stabilizer. I'm not giving the company free plug. I didn't believe it either but this **** made a big difference on my car. more performance then my kinetix upper plenum. I'm not ****ting you on this.

Now don't get me wrong. I'm not wowing at the power of my car after the grounding kit install. I'm wowing at the fact that it actually made that big of a difference

I saw this on ebay and was considering it as a cheap alternative. However, recent experiences with ebay have left a bad taste in my mouth. How is the quality of the kit?

Yea usually stuff you get off ebay for this cheap is pretty much junk and you get what you pay for. But i was surprised at how well made it was.

I don't know about anyone else's car but on my car it made a big difference. My car has never pulled like this before. Throttle is way more responsive. I am in no way affiliated with the company and makes the ground kit or the company that sells them. Just thought i'd share my experience with those of you that are wondering if a grounding kit makes any difference at all. so someone buy this and try it already and tell me if it made any difference on your car like it did on mine. You want dyno before and after install? sure i'm down. You pay for the dyno run and if the dyno shows no difference at all before and after then i will pay you back for the dyno run. But if the dyno shows that the Grounding kit did make a difference then i got a free dyno run and you're out $500?

^ A regular Dyno run should run you 50-60 bucs ahaha, and no don't even dyno it cause you aint gaining any power from ground wires, thats not the point of ground wires. I think you're going through a placebo effect where you think it made a difference, but then again I won't assume you wrong because when I installed mine I did feel a better throttle response, but thats it, performance, power, none of that, just better throttle response, after I got my SC installed they threw my ground wires away haha like it was worthless. Too me it's more of an engine bay for show mod, looks good and clean, besides that you can go get stereo wire and make your own, thats all it is But hey atleast you're enjoying your wires, but for me I'm straight, I'm not down with ebay products, thanks for sharing though.

One could just unhook the main grounding point and see if it runs "worse" again.

Not if your stock I suggest a first tuned to be done when at least all your bolt on mods are completed
