im just getting the review in a magazine, and its not by the company, its by the magazine itself, they put up a dyno graph to prove the gains also, you just cant mount the final ground near any electrical sytem or you wont notice any power, that was what the review said, depending on where you mount it is how much power you get

Just a thought..

IF your electrical grounds are poor then MAYBE these will help.

Different cars are going to respond differently to these depending on the condition of their factory grounding system. I believe there was a 4th gen who dynoed these when they were originally released and they showed gains. Maybe he just had a weak ground and these replaced/fixed it.

I've read about these in several mags and supposedly you MUST change the grounding points ON A DYNO to find a spot that helps vs. hurts performance. If you have some free dyno time, then go for it. Otherwise, buy a proven mod that you don't have with that money.

The jury is still out on these in my book, but damn they sure caught on fast.
