just wondering how many members have upgraded to this and is there a big difference ?

 

I have it. I didn't get any of the advertised benefits.

 

I added additional grounds...meh

 

IMHO, better results will come from cleaning original grounds with the added benefit of not having a cluster f##k of wires under the Hood.

 

What's the best way to clean the original grounds?

 

Seriously?

Sandpaper is the easiest.

 

Do you mean as to locating them? Or the actual cleaning of them? As far as locating the grounds, basically look for any wire that is attached to the engine block and/or the body. They will usually be connected with bolts. A wiring diagram would also be very useful. Simply back out the bolt and using a wire brush and/or sandpaper, Polish up both the wire end and the area where the wire will touch. Remember to reattach the grounds or you will have problems.

 

It depends how rusty the car is. I made my own kit using battery cables. Difference was subtle, but it was there. Bose stereo sounded better and my headlights are brighter. The difference does not scream out at you, but people do flash me often thinking I'm using my high beams. So then I put on my high beams and they understand lol.

You can use 6cyl-97maxima's suggestion to a complete cleaning of the grounds, or simply un-screwing and re-screwing in the ground point also does a good job.

Lastly, don't forget the alternator. Cleaning that ground can offer a major improvement in your car's electrical behavior. This guy (colonel) was in the middle of changing his alternator, had some trouble, and put things back together. The act of unscrewing and re-screwing in things improved the performance of his old OEM alternator;

I have to do this on my car too.

 

The added horse power, better shifting, stable idle speed, crystal clear head lights and even better radio reception.

Where's that little pill?

 

alternator ground? that's the single small bolt on the top of it right?

 

I would clean both connectors to the ALT. From that same thread if u look at post 86 from Nelsito65 you can see the threaded connector and the harness connector right next to each other;
