Differences between all the grounding wires?

There's this crazy thing called application. It's reared it's ugly head anywhere from nasa to your paint brush. Buy the 10wire GG kit. I researched like you wouldn't believe and went with the GG kit. I installed it and found it did much for my ride. (quicker response when turning the ignition key, lights brighter, mm shifting much improved, shifting of the auto more crisp, etc.) It does seem like snake oil, but if you have an AT, I'm telling you that it's a good mod for sure.
I've been selling and actually use the apexi super ground system and have heard nothing but spectacular reviews from owner and magazines. I have always liked the apexi electronics and i think that their ground system is cool. Anyone here use it, or considering using it???

this may be kinda off the subject here, but i am very sure that the car makers try to pinch every penny here and there to make some extra money. lets say by using some inferior quality wires or plastics, the car maker can save $10 per car. if they sold 100,000 cars, they will have extra $ 1 million...
just look at the plastics they used on certain parts of the car. i bet better plastic wont cost that much extra, but they choose not to use em...

Well there's not much I can say really other than I'd be very skeptical until I could see some hard evidence. For example, one could datalog the vehicle velocity and after a few before and after runs see exactly the difference in shift times with the 5AT. Or if you think your headlights are brighter, measure the difference in current draw in to the lamp before and after the ground wires. There are many things that would be relatively easy to do, and I'm surprised that all of these ground wire kit vendors making 1000% profit don't spend some time to prove what they claim (actually I'm not surprised, because I personally don't believe the claims yet). But if you can prove it non-subjectively, I have an open mind.
