Sun Automotive Ground Wires

Does anybody know if these ground wires actually work for our truck, its by Sun Automotive products and they are very popular in the import scene. I know a bunch of guys who has them on their ''higher'' performance vehicles and they said it help improved a whole bunch of things, like gas mileage- start ups - better audio and even in horsepower, but noone has it on a tacoma yet . I think its around $120 a pop. Do u think its worth it or is it all hype?...



p.s : i tried doing a search already...

Having better/bigger ground wires can improve your voltage, but I don't see why you have to buy that expensive kit.

To improve my electrical system I added a 4 guage charging wire from the battery to the alternator, on top of the stock wire. Then I added a 4 guage ground wire from the engine block to the chassis. And a 1 guage ground wire from the battery to the chassis. I used 1 guage because of my 1 guage cable going to my sound system amps.

Well for me, i always go for brands, even if it seems kind of expensive. Im sure i can get them for alot cheaper. Plus they have a specific application for the tacoma and i dont have to do alot of guess work on where the wires would have to go. Your truck must be pretty sweet PB, is there anything you dont have yet ?.... can i borrow some money?..

Well, if that the case then you should buy my PB brand custom grounding cables. $100.00

+1 for making them yourself. takes at most 10 ft of cable and maybe 10 ring terminals
