Hyperground Wires

Have you guys heard about this? I did some research and found
that this actually works. They did a 350Z and gain 5hp. That's not
bad for $80.00. I'm planning to try it on my 04 maxima. What do you guys think?

I am getting mixed reviews. Why do you think they worked for some and not for others?

Maybe the car still has good electrical connections. The ground wire kit will really help an older car, where oxidation has had a chance to creep in and make the electrical contacts flaky, or at least higher in resistance.

I have the feeling that if a ground wire kit was added to a brand spanking new car, you wouldn't see a difference.

Yeap,I agreed with dwapenyi.Before I made my own kit,my Bose HU was completely dead.After I made my own kit and installed it my Bose HU come back alive ever since.BTW it was on my 96 SE auto with about 85k mile at the time.

doing it on your 04 maxima would prove to be useless... but if you plan on doing it on a newer car, don't go the ghetto way at all. Maybe there's somthing about the Hyperground wire system that makes it legit.
