I don't think so. I've got mine grounded, and the engine seems like it doesn't idle as rough. Most ground kits give 1-5 whp, but this one is different than the others.

Rep Power: 812 Dude just go install it. I was out in the freezing cold taking off my intake to rearrange the wiring.
Anyone know where the thermostat is? I think it's where the hose goes into the engine, but I didn't see anyplace the ground it without opening one of the bolts.

Rep Power: 0 Follow the bottom rad hose to the engine. That will be the thermostat housing. On there you should find three bolts. Two of them hold the housing to the block, one of them should be holding a cable already. Unscrew that bolt, and add your upgraded cable to the existing cable and tighten the bolt down. The cable that was already there is the ECU ground.

You know you are a rabid car guy when you reach for the ratchet to find out there is already a socket stuck to your fingers...
Maybe I'll open the business in Cali...

Well there's snow over here. And by the time I get home, it's dark already. I'm just gonna have to wait on tinkering with it.

Rep Power: 0 Well today I got in the package my grounding kit that I bought from Chris...bridge_msport....and I am extremely satisfied with it! The package arrived at my house extremely quick and I could always count on Chris helping me out w/ any questions. For once, we have a seller that is quick on shipping an item and is great with communication. I will post pics of the kit tommorow on Thursday but the quality of the cables are just as described, the gold terminals are properly crimped w/ heat shrink, and the box which will be the common ground looks easy to install. I can actually say that once I install this kit which will be this weekend, this will be the best money spent on my car. Its all about the trust...

Again, for the sake of conversation, suppose individual throttle bodies were available for the 7th Gen. Would there be interest?
I have another product that I am prototyping that will definitely be available for the 7th Gen, probably in the next month...
