Need Info with "Hyper Ground"

Guys,

Since I don't have the ability to 'Search' on this forum, I was wonder if some nice person could give me a couple of links to this topic in the past.

More specifically I need a Hyper Ground install / install points ... cuz I'm really looking into doing this for my car.

Any help is appreciated, Thanks

Eric

I've been doing some research on this and may have come up with another reason why this works.

Its called electrical potential. Not all grounds are created equal, so when all these grounds are connected this equals the potential and the equiptment (computers, etc) works better. COmbine this with larger wires and we get less losses in our electrical equiptment.

When we hook up a bunch of generators at work, each are grounded and they are also grounded to eachother.

Any EEs to back me up?

Im not an EE, but ill tell you this much. The ground on the max (well most any vehicle) suck. If you take some of the car apart you'll understand what I mean. Ground in dumb spots, covered in paint which we know really helps conduct electricity

hey guys grounding is pretty easy to DIY. one thing i can suggest is to go around your engine bay with a multimeter and measure the resistance of some potential grounding points with respect to the negative battery terminal. anything with significant resistance over a couple of ohms should be grounded better.
