Here it is..I love it! Thing looks great under the hood! Plus it gives my car like 20 more HP! And It seems to handle better too!!!

No, NOt really. However, call me crazy, but I seem to notice a little more low end power. Plus my speakers sound WAY better. Honestly, for the money...it is worth it!!!

Here are the Pics...Please don't post till all 4 are here!

Oh, and I got the 02 shift assembly installed in my 01 GTS today!!!! HUGE DIFFERENCE!!! AND IT WAS FREE!!! WEEEEHEEEEE!!!

I believe that you do feel some difference, grounding like that is very common in race cars. I like how it looks too. Where'd you get it??

I honestly did. Not kidding. There is less lag when I push on the gas at a low rpm. When I first pulled out of my driveway I almost peeled the tires...that big of a difference on the low end. Plus, my stereo got way louder! With less distortion!! I luv it! I actually have one more ground wire to hook up too! It started raining so I didn't get a chance to finish... The next ground prolly won't do anything...but oh well. TOTALLY woth the money! thumbsup

After a time, you may find that having is not so pleasing a thing, after all, as wanting. It is not logical, but it is often true.

I got it for brand new for 45 bucks from Pink_Panther. I believe it retails for 119.00!! So, I got an awesome deal. I beleive you can find it at...
http://arospeed.com/product_info.php?cPath=22_52&products_id=565

I think it is just made to fit any vehicle (generic mounting) ...but man fits real nice! I just used the grounding points that were pointed out on this website in the Installs section!

As for Performance, it may give you up to 1 horsepower, but trying to prove that with a dyno is hard since dynos vary each time you run one.

As for it making your car peel out, I think you can attribute that to your heavy foot. wink

Look nice bro. i got ground kit in my celi, it's blue. I just order the 4G by the foot 0.89/ft..then bought some gold plated ring term for like $7 for pack of 10..cut and assembled myself. used the measurement and intruction from happies714. work good, you def. notice the radio is clearer and the headlight do goes dim just a tiny bit when you roll the window down but compare to b4 the kit you can see the light goes real dim when window is being roll up/down. i'm happy with it. Especially because i install it myself.

Absolutely! There are just some places that are better than others! I just looked for all the factory grounding locations and atached mine next to those! What is nice about this kit, is the fact that you can use the factory grounding terminal and it fits right on the new one (see above pic of battery terminal)! You automatically have at least double the grounding!!!

with grounding kit... a gain of 4.1 hp! Right in the low end! From 151 to 155 wheel HP. Not bad for just a few wires eh?

Oh, and that is not my car. I got that from a website a few months ago. It is what convinced me to actually do it! So, as you can see...they can help and ADD actual HP!

i have happies714 grounding kit i love it and they look good under the hood also you can get better hp gain by placing the wires in different locations it states that in the Import Tuner

It's interesting to me that people find it hard to believe that grounding wires do anything, especially on this same site where i saw a write up on weight reduction (13lbs = 1hp) and people were buying that. wtf

I think his point was that you don't know what other mods he had (intake/header/exhaust/ecu, etc. etc.)
