#52930, "Ground Wire Kit Installed!!"


          

I installed my ground wire kit, about 5 days ago. I have been riding around alot seeing what changes they have caused. I have noticed they:
-make the car idle smoother
-rev smoother
-better gas mileage by far
-interior lights are brighter
-starter doesnt sound stressed like before

Now here is the big thing. I made a trip from grandma house (Rock Mount, NC) to my dad's house (Clinton, MD), approx 250 miles. I filled up my gas tank to where the need was slightly above full (87 octane). I had 3 people in the car with luggage. When arrived at my dad's house the gas needle was above 3/4 full !!! Less than a 1/4 of a tank over a 250mile stretch.

I bought this kit from Ryan, he posted up here in the forsale section about the kit, the quality is excellent. Very easy to install and looks nice too.

Basically you know your ground wires your electronics and engine and battery have to use to gain some kind of power right????? well technically these ground wires replace those and it allows more power to be generated...well actually it really doesnt replace the factory wires because you can keep those on and still ground these to some place else...some place better.........I highly recommend them

OK, so basically they are just WIRES. just a thick piece of wire that I connect the negative of the battery to the car body?
That's all??

man that looks sweet! i love the blue header by the way it's a nice touch. i have a question i've been looking into them for some time now.. i heard that playing around with grounding posistions make more hp gains?? did u notice any (if any) gains? i mean it might only be 1hp but for $100 u get some nice advantages and seems like no down side! i was thinking it would be a great mod in combination with UDP's getting ur volts back up after underdriving ur alternater. ........... how long was this install and did they give u suggested grounding points??? thanks guys

if you run a cable to the alternator gound you'll get the best gains.
