Hyper Voltage System -> Not hyper ground

What do you guys thin of this?

I think it's B.S., probably even less effective then hyper ground.

not sure wtf that is supposed to do...a voltage regulator perhaps?

as to hyperground....that's a typical opinion from someone who hasn't installed one (or installed one correctly)...

seems like the great majority of us who have installed a HG setup have positive things to say about it...I certainly do. My thread on is one of the biggest ones of the summer....so not everyone is a skeptic.

as to this thing...anyone used it or know what it does? 2 wires....1 to battery 1 to alternator?

I often wonder if there is benefit to reinforcing the voltage supply to the ignition coils, maybe e.g. adding a bigger stiffening capacitor to the system... ignition systems already have a capacitor in them but that's more for grounding voltage transients, not maintaining a certain voltage. Could be a cheap mod?

It appears that this is similar to the JACOBS voltage stabilizer back in the days.

I dont know what the impact is given that in an automotive environemtn voltage can flux from 12 volts up to 15 volts or so, but with this, it will stablize to 14.4volts constant.

Now what my question is, is in the JACOBS application, the voltage regulator was only meant to be connect to an amp for audio. Everybody knows that in a car audio amp, maintaining voltage at 14.4V yields 30-50% more power output than 12volts. THerefore iasca competitors used this.

Now i don't know how this unit can power the entire car. I doubt this can be.

I'm curious what is inside (if anything).

Do not buy one. PERIOD.
Sucks for those people who did though...
