HKS Grounding kit: What do you think?

Heres what I found. Its 8 wires and was wondering if anyone knew anything about it.

Doesn't hurt. Can help with the electrical system but there is no proof other than butt-dyno that it increases performance (that I have seen).

waste of money

I wouldn't think it would do much good on a new car. Once the wires start to age and the resistance increases, I can see a value. I doubt a car less than 3 or 4 years old would benefit. This is just a guess though.

Better grounding is always a positive in some aspects.

Yes, ground kits can improve performance slightly and would help reduce resistance. Auto manufacturers would love to use better quality cables, but the bean counters will trump them. The only thing about using a grounding kit is that it's highly recommended to get an hour of dyno time too because moving them grounding points around can increase or decrease performance. I've seen several articles and even Horsepower TV where they've tested grounding kits and they saw a fluctuation in performance gains from none up to 8hp.

If someone decides to do this, it would be a great benefit if they would do a before and after dyno run on their car. I don't really trust the manufacturers claims as there are too many variables. I'd be interested in whether it improved economy too.

Any one planning to do the grounding kit have access to a dyno?

I would say no, it doesn't look reliable IMO....
