Would you be interested in a grounding kit?

Curious if anyone would be interested in purchasing a grounding kit for their trix?

Grounding kits help provide a more equalized balance of resistance and voltages between various ground points of your vehicle (such as your alternator, transmission, engine, block heater etc.) Proper grounding will provide optimal circulation of voltage to the various components to help them operate at its true potential while still achieving optimal efficiency. In addition, it is beleived that a slight increase in horsepower and torque gains will result from proper grounding. From experience, after I have grounded my car I've noticed that I get better ignition starts, more energy supplied to my mp3 player (and thus better sound quality and bass), my hids are more intense (so it seems to me) and lastly, a little bit of a performance gain as well.

The grounding kits include:
10 guage wires
Connectors
CD instructions with picture images for easy identification of ground points

The guage wires will be pre-assembled to the connectors and each wire will be a set distance. There will be some wires that require daisy-chaining (meaning wires will be bolted on together to form a link) and if I remember correctly, there will be four wires that will be daisyichained to the negative terminal of your battery. The installation time is roughly 1 hour and a half for the inexperienced and obviously less for the more experienced.

Unfortunately I only have kits that will fit the 06 Corolla (S) and 06 Matrix (base) (as each wire is cut to measurement). I'm not sure if the ground points of any other years of corolla and matrix is the same as the 06s, but if they are then I'm sure they will fit (Buyer MUST be sure that the kit will fit their year and model before placing order. There will be NO refunds. Exchanges can be arranged if found defective upon arrival).

Price: $40 USD. Please enquiry for quotes on shipping.

NOTE: This product is just a feeler to see if there may be a potential interest for them.

I already have some but i just recently ran 4 of the wires to the injectors w/ one to the chassis and 1 to the block. I have 1 left over but i can put that somewhere. I had the grounding points there for a while but i figured i'de change it and see what happens. I feel it's more smoother during idle than before and 5th/6th gear really grabs than before. Maybe it's just a mindset but it feels a little different than before. I also have a voltage regulator as well w/ the set up.

I am interested and plan on being in Edmonton some time this summer (hopefully for the Indy). We could possibly make arrangements for something then. By the way are you selling the kits now or is this just as stated a feeler?
