Were did you get your kit from?

Yea I'll be at Natick. I'm coming down with my bro, he's bringing his SRT-4. Then again he's well known in his circle of friends for just sleeping through previous engagements, 
Either way I'll be there. I got mine from active tuning. I actually picked mine up before vqpower did their article on it. But noticed all the improvements they had mentioned on their review. Seeing it just clarified all the little changes I felt when it got installed.

most of the grounding kits on ebay are < $15. what's wrong with these? its practically the same price as just buying the wires and doing it that way.

"why did you buy that snake oil? it does absolutely nothing!"

Medicine or therapy that doesn't work.
Most of the **** sold at health food stores are snake oil products.

I'm not defending those voltage stabilizers or whatnot. I haven't tried to research them enough.
But have you ever looked to see how thin the STOCK oem ground wires are? Except for the neg battery (4 awg), all the others are on the order of 18 awg or so. VERY thin.
