I have 4 of 8 wires completed and installed. I would have the entire kit finished if it weren't for the fact that I'm not copying GG, stillen or any others.

I've studied 3 other kits and also found the factory ground wires (there are more than one would expect), then made more logical connection points.

It seems that some of the other kits emphasized looks more than performance. I'm going for performance only. Pictures to come. Also, if anyone wants one, email me.

Will they use black wire??

None of the ebay kits are stealth.. only ugly red or blue ricer crap...

I had one I made myself using monster stereo cable.. it worked great but it was too ghetto for my G... So I took it out.

I would like a good 10 wire system for under $100..

Anyway.. I know of some hidden ground points if you're interested.

One commonly overlooked one is on the front of the timing cover and it's a BIG ground..

I'm using Graphite wires and I think they look perfect.

I think I can do an 8 wire system for $100

4AWG copper with crimped and wrapped terminals.

Here is what I have so far. Unless you know what to look for, you almost don't notice them. The engine cover WILL fit.



Are you referring to the ground point near the power steering resevoir?

That's where you add the blinker fluid and the muffler grease.

I like the color of the wires. I'll be curious to see it all finished. Good job bro.

I add a little liquid beep to the little fitting in the front too.

Last time I read about this subject, I thought it was said that improving of the grounding didn't show improvement in the MT. I've got a few feet of wire that i could do this with, but I didn't think It would be worth the effort. Did I miss a post?

You'll need more than just a few feet. And the point in making this kit was two fold. 1) To see if any improvement was accomplished with the wires. 2) To produce and sell a reasonably priced, higher quality kit than what's out there right now.

I was going to buy a used Z-tube and K&N typhoon for $100, but I had to stop myself and remember that I want to build an intake out of CF that starts at the throttle and sweeps all the way to the scoop.
