I wouldn't waste money on 4awg, a little overkill.

 

I used 2Awg, and i cannot tell a difference at all. I did the Active Tuning grounds. I guess i could try the power to the alternator and see if anything happens. The grounds did seem like a waste!!!

 

grounding wont yield noticeable gains in anything its more for reliability and longetivty of your electrical system and componets. Doing what most do is the alternator-rewire where you use 2-4 gauge wire straight to your power distrubution center. and then another 2-4 gauge wire going from there to your battery and for the money involved in this mod i would do it to any car id plan on keeping

 

dont really need a kit when there are only a few important grounds. 1 take your battery off and clean off the engine ground point and chassis ground point with some sandpaper, 2 the alternator to chassis ground, some people do 3 starter to chassis. u can make your own custom lenght wires buy going to an auto store abd buying wire and connector. 4 gauge is all you would really need. as for poeple who do the chassis ground from the intake manifold and timing chain case, it may look cool to them, but i doubt it serves a real purpose.

 

0 gauge wire. Clean and replace the three main grounds. No gains but is technically beneficial to your car. Do not waste money on a kit but if you want to redo the grounds then do it. People that said grounds are a waste..... GL running the car without good grounds.

 

lol 0awg? 0v3rki11. 8awg is sufficient, anything bigger is just for bling factor.

 

not sure how wire is bling but ok. I would just go with the biggest wire I could get.
