Ground Wire System?

Have you guys heard about this ground wire system. Arospeed and probably more companies offer this kit. Anyways, I just read a post in one of the forums that this kit can increase power output by 2-8 hp.

I don't know how it works other than possibly scavenging lost electrons for the charging system, and therefore decreasing its overall activity.

Anybody know about this?

Page 3 has my dyno. So far I know that Sun Auto and HKS have the kit. Sun Auto claimed to be better and cheaper, so I went with them. I later discovered that Sun Auto uses a 4 gauge wire with almost 70% more strands of wire than the HKS 8 gauge wires. The Sun Auto kit is the most popular of the ground wire kits in Japan, so I thought that was good enough for me.

Hey thanks for the info. How hard is the install?

How would I get my hands on the SUN Auto kit?

Thanks,

Install takes about 15 minutes with a 10mm open end wrench or socket. As for obtaining a kit, I'm working on a group deal through Sun Auto right now. They'll give me something concrete to work with on Thursday, i just hope they'll offer a decent discount.

That sounds excellent. It's amazing that something this simple can yield such an increase in engine output. Do the kits come with good instructions?
