My (fake) hyper grounds

I was reading an article in a truck mag, about the ground wires so I figured if the big boys were doing it, i'd at least try it. I had alot of Montster Cable 8 awg lying around so what the hell...it's free!
At the moment i grounded all the wire next to the 1st main ground.

I have 5 grounds (head, alternator, grounds near pass. headlight, above the fuel rail, and on the intake manifold). Anyway as of right now I don't see an improvement, but it may be where I did them or my cheap terminals. Oh well, at least it matches my gay red theme.

Very clean install! Color really matches well. Did you take out your intake system just to do the ground system?

Originally I took out the intake to clean the throttle body, but I ended up doing the groung wires too. If I was doing just the wires, I would at least take the filter out.

Not that you haven't done the electrical system some good but you are still limited to the current of the stock 4gauge wire going to your neg terminal. I would run another 4 gauge from your grounding point on the frame to the neg side of the battery and that would double the amount of amps able to travel the loop. I have my battery in the trunk so it is even more important for me to have this done.
