New Grounds giving gains?

ok, i don't know if many of you guys check out the general board, but there was a huge thread on a new system called hyper ground i believe. Kevin Wong bought it and it was nothing more than 5 thick ground wires running from the negative battery post to five separate ground points in the engine bay. he dynoed back-to-back without and with, and he gained 8 peak hp and 13 peak torque.

Now, some of the guys in that thread, were wondering if it was because it was an older car. But, I was wondering if it would be applicable to our 5th gens as well, and if we would see similar or so gains. If someone could point me to the grounding locations for the 2k1, i could buy some wire and run it in an ooglie set-up. and while i may not have access to a dyno, i do try and go to the track often, and have a trip planned for next week....

Anyway, it seems cheap, it could produce gains, i'm kinda skeptical, but he's got a dyno to back it up, here's the thread for you guys:

But if someone could tell me where the grounding points are, i'll try and check into it - and also, enginerring people, should i 6 or 8 gauge wire, or will it matter?
