So here it is,http://phase2motorsports.store....html

Does this work? In theory, it sounds like it would. Does anyone have this and have any imput on it? I can easily make somthing like this from crap I have laying around. But I dont want to waste my materials if its not gona work enough for me to notice it. M ycar idles a lil iffy, I have a broken bolt for 1 coil pack, and my car starts after a couple tuirns not immediatly. So I would think this will help me out, if it works and fix a few minor pains.

grounding kits do work.

you can get a 1 - 2 hp gain and a smoother idle,

when you make one, do a write-upand attach the ground wire to the side of your block.

idle problem could also be IACV

Well, this isnt a "grounding kit". It helps ground the coilpacks. Grounding kits help ground thebattery. Ive cleaned the IACV, where the idle screw is? lol I already did a write up on that actualy what a jackass I am. Look it up. I will it again with better pics this time. I dont see how the Circuit Sports thing works because the bolts touch a piece of threaded metal, which is encased in a plastic piece on the coilpack, not in the coilpack, eliminating it effecting the electronics of it?

It's just grounding the valve cover. I ran some ground wires to my coil pack screw's and no changes except it seam's to start a little quicker.

it acts like a giant conductive washer between the packs and the valve cover.

its nice but its possible to make something just as good.
