Thanks Black Betty for meeting me up again and installing this BEAUTIFUL grounding kit. I'll give my impressions of this kit in a week, but I can definitely say that this is a very high quality kit and he knows what he is doing. Install was very straightforward and everything was perfect. Thanks for letting me by the test subject.

 

Pluckers > BW3

 

BW3 again? lol, seems like we always go there. Pluckers is cool, but I'm tired of wings. What about something else.

 

I'm hungry...

 

word...how bout a bbq joint?

cruise up to Rudys?

 

You bastards jacked my thread!

No worries, It had served its purpose. Next meet is closer to Baytown!

 

Hey Jeremy good to hear from you too. I think a cruise meet to the hill country would be an awesome meet...take up two lanes instead of forming a line. Set it up and i'm down...before gas prices go back up!

 

Aye... gas prices are going back up...

 

Just as an update on the Black Betty grounding kit and to get this thread back on track... I'm LOVING it and can really see a difference in the upshifts. My car no longer has the dreaded lag when upshifting. During regular driving, my car now upshifts sooner/faster so that driving my autoMAGIC is perfect for my needs. My radio also seems to sound louder now because I now have it set on 10 when it was usually on 12 before this mod. Thank you so much for helping out the G35 community Jeremy. To be honest, I was skeptical about this mod beforehand since this mod is very controversial on various forums. However after having the kit personally, all my future automatic cars will get this mod since it is very cost effective and I can notice the difference. Thanks again Jeremy for a great quality kit.

Cliffnotes:
-Drove with Black Betty grounding kit for about 3 weeks
-Car now upshifts much faster/smoother so the lag isn't there
-Radio now sounds louder (used 12 before mod and 10 afterwards)
-Quality is fantastic and looks OEM which is what I wanted
-Install was straightforward and easy

 

Thanks for the kind words Steve. I'm glad to know you feel like it benefited your car's performance. A number of users have posted that their OEM stereo sounds louder or clearer. I personally didn't notice this myself, so I can't comment on it from personal experience. I know the benefits of better grounding most definitely will help with aftermarket electronics, but I don't know that it will be an audible difference in volume from your speakers; at least I wouldn't think so but your ears may tell you different. The speed in upshifting in AT cars is the most evident benefit of all, and seems to be the most noticeable from almost every user. I have one more "test mule" (this means you John - call me!) to install a kit in (a 1st gen. coupe) just to make 100% certain that the fitment is as perfect as your is before I'll sell them to the G community.

Stay tuned...

 

Yeah they are but that's why we need a G cruise to Austin. Jeremy mentioned it and i told Cal we're down even the CentexVq's in austin are down to meet...

Anywho, sorry for the threadjack...heheheh....I wish i could've been part of the test group as well...I have a Transgo shift kit sitting in my room egging to be installed but no money right now

 

This sounds like a pretty cool mod that I will definitely have to add to my ever growing list!! *subscribe*

 

They'll be available for all years of G35 later this week, not just G37 and late model sedans.

 

Update on BB Grounding Kit - It was installed this weekend and have been driving on it for a couple of days. I like the overall outcome of the kit. It is well put together, easy to install even though Jeremy installed it...lol.
I have an automatice coupe and benefits were it shifts alot smoother and you really dont feel it going to the next gear, also in "Manual mode" upshift responds alot better not much of a lag.

Well thanks to Jeremy and offering this kit to the G35 Community.

 

Now available for the 1st generation G35 sedan and coupe.
