you know monster, the company that makes $100 HDMI cables that carry 1s and 0s better than any other HDMI cable???

I think the same applies here, I just use 8ga and run a seperate ground from the battery to the frame, and ground to the alt

I am pretty sure no one wants to pay $300 for a grounding kit. And most likely 4ga is good enough.

people pay $100+ for monster cables because of advertising

just like bose or any other brand/fad

if people say its good, then its great no matter the cost

Everyone is jumping on grounding kits asking if they add horsepower, but forget they still help with throttle and shifting. So technically they still work even if they dont add hp they shore up better shifts etc.

I dont have a A/T so I could not tell you about the shifting in an automatic. From what i have come to conclude from what everyone else is saying though is it stabalizes voltage therefore a quicker stronger signal to the computer to shift.

Thats the thing, the Transmission and Engine computers are on a digital system there are/is no voltages to stabilize. They either work or do not work.
