It's a waste of money to buy a ground kit if you do not upgrade the Big 3 wires.

Please, don't waste your money.

If you want a ground kit really really bad, do a search on the DIY ground kit tutorial.

The claims these kits make seem a little ridiculous. Not sure if you are buying it for increased power and fuel economy or what...but, man, seems scheme'ish to me.

Exactly. If you want hp, increase air and fuel inside the engine. If your subwoofers are dimming your lights, don't waste big money on a cap, spend $10-15 on some 4ga to 0ga wiring and upgrade the big 3!!!

i know one person that recommends them because he had the hyper ground wires on his paseo with an underdrive pulley. he said it does make a difference. it does all go back to the basics of things though every little bit of freed up power does make a difference wheather or not you feel it.

It's 90% mental.

It seems everything adds horsepower nowadays.

....ive also heard that a bright orange paint job will give you an additional 10-15hp....at the wheels....if you believe that, go for the ground wires...im with dna59 on this one....
