How can you gain crank HP but not wheel hp? Yes it's true though. Over time your ground wires get rusted or corroded and new wires will let electricity flow better, make some components draw less power from the engine since it's a bit more efficient.

I'm pretty sure anyone can do it. It's not really that hard. All you need is 14ga or bigger cable and terminals. I already have several solder irons so that isn't any extra for me. Matt charges what, $42 or so for 5 separate cables? I can save about $10-$15 by making it myself and I can make more than 5 cables seeing as there are like a hundred some different grounding points on the car.

No 1MAX2NV has the HKS Circle Earth kit. Its the real thing. I don't think he would cheapen himself to Ebay.

i think you feel the HP gains more with the more mods you have done to your car.

LOL they slapped a NISMO sticker on that generic crap and hope to sell it. you know nismo would charge 2 grand at least for a grounding kit. j/k the stillen one costs over $100 and is custom fitted. this junk might work as well but is universal with that "nismo" plate. haha, he also sells an identical TRD kit along with bootleg radiator caps by every brand, etc.

only way it would help hp is restoring lost hp due to old crusty wires.
