5 ltr. beater

well i was reading this months import tuner and i came across an article that read "cheap HP gains". it basically involved cars that had individual coil packs. they basically grounded each coil pack individually ( i guess ours are grounded toghether?) and gained 4hp to the wheels between 3K-6K rpm. supposedly the part of the powerband where the spark isn't all that strong.
it's a mod i guess worth trying.
anyone know which color the ground is on the coil pack?

well the default color for a ground is usually black.. and red is power.......

Ground kits work for most cars and gain 2-10HP on most cars.Ive seen a few really bad cars that gain 20hp or so but thats rare.

This is pretty specific but Ive always wondered about smaller parts like the CP's. Also make sure the VE doesnt use the ground to switch the CP's on and off.

well i figured that, just didn't want to make a mistake and find out that it's the other way around for the VE. any way to find out for sure?

FSM I just happen to have in front of me shows BLACK for coil pack grounds. They are grounded in groups of three factory.

another mod could be getting thicker wires for the coils....

i already have the grounding kit and it doesn't consist of grounding the coil packs. are the moderators still selling them in the meantime though?

If you have Matt's ground kit, it already grounds the front/rear coil pack harness. I believe there's one ground for each bank of coils.
