BUILD YOUR OWN ITS CHEAPER AND THE SAME EFFECTS.

BASICALLY ALL IT IS IS A LARGER TRAVEL PATH AND A COMMON GROUND FOR ALL THE HIGH ENERGY COMPONENTS SO THAT ELECTRICTY FLOWS FASTER AND IS FAR MORE EFFECTIVE.

what are some of the things it connects to? like engine etc??

ALTERNATOR, ENGINE GROUND, STARTER, BATTERY, AND A FEW MORE.

If your car doesn't have any hesitations or quirky behavior when revving, I don't know if the kit is worth it.

The biggest thing I've seen grounding kits fix is the dreaded 4500rpm(or so) hesitation on the 2nd gen Rx7's which is usually due to the connections being kinda poor and maybe rusted due to the age of the car.

I dunno though, maybe you could pull an extra 2-3hp from using it; might as well get some stickers out...

I THINK IT'LL SMOOTH OUT ANY ELECTRICAL SIGNALS BUT I REALLY DON'T THINK YOU'LL SEE ANY SIGNIFICANT GAINS IN POWER.

ALTHOUGH IF YOU USE A COLLECTIVE GROUND FOR SOME ENGINE CONTROL REALTED PRODUCTS YOU WILL PROBABLY FEEL A MORE RESPONSIVE ENGINE.

There was a dyno done on an FD rx7 in one of the tuner mags a few years back when the hot earth first came out, made 8hp or something like that. They say the more mods done, the higher the effectiveness. Even on a stock S2000 it made something like 2hp.
