G R O U N D -- W I R E S I bought me some ground wires and no bs it works great! there's no bs! for 30bucks its awesome!
-quicker cold weather start
-better torque
-quicker throttle response
-smoother idle
-much clearer sound
-about 3 hp gain
-better mileage but it's gonna take a while to find out

He probably has Happies kit. It's decent, but I'm still playing around with the grounding points. Now I've noticed the bass is much tighter. Seems to start up better as well.
3hp gain? I'm calling 
Better torque?
Quicker throttle response?
It's all in your head. Just like I swear my car runs better when it's clean and shiny. I'm sure some people would say that a clean car has less drag or some ****. But seriously..it's all in your head. Better sound I'll buy...and less dimming of the lights when the bass hits I would believe. Time your 0-60 runs with and without grounds..I bet they are the same (or really close since you might choose different shift points).

Rep Power: 812 On some cars, there is a difference. I've seen the dyno for one car that gained 3-4 whp. If you ground the right places like alternator, ecu, etc the whole car performs better.
The single ground point works better than daisy chaining. That's what electrical engineers seem to think, so I'm redoing mine in spring.

i made my own with leftover 8 gauge and some ring terminals, my HID's warm up faster, no power issue from bumping the system. yeah, it seems the single ground point would work better, just because of ground loops that could happen from daisy chaining, but i'm too lazy to make a bracket.

Rep Power: 812 I got three cables to fit on the negative terminal. I'm gonna try one more. I've got one going to tranny, another to radiator support, and the last one to the valve cover.

what kit do you have????
1-battery ground wire to left tire well
2-left tire well to firewall
3-firewall to right tire well
4-right tire well to tranny
5-tranny back to the battery negative
don't forget to sand the contact point before you bolt the wires and make sure it's tight!!!

Rep Power: 0 how can you go out and say all these things like 3 horse power gain and everything else ? Did you dyno your car ? Or you just automatically know that you feel a 3 horse gain when driving ? You know how much 3 horse gain is ? Not trying to be mean or anything but unless you did dyno which you didnt say, come on honestly you cant tell everyone you got all this from just "feel".

I had that stuff done along time ago all it does is affect the feel of the car. The accelaration feels more responsive, but it isnt doing jack crap in reality. Most likely shave off .001 in your qaurter time.

Rep Power: 812 Well, your entire car has electrical components. Audio, alternator/charging system, ECU, spark plugs...need I go on? If you can make the current flow through the system better (from pos to neg on the battery), then all these components should benefit.
I noticed a small difference just doing the tranny, radiator chassis, and valve cover. It's better to do specific components than just ground the chassis a bunch of times. If really won't do much overall. Maybe 1-2horses, which is more than I can say for my old AEM intake.

Rep Power: 812 The hyper voltage system is a series of caps and other stuff built into one. It is far more effective than ground wires, but can also be used together with them.

but how about dyno results on a d17 engine???????
