Those faces mean confuse for what you are asking. Grounding kit and handling I don't think it goes together. Unless you are talking about a body kit.

BTW, I don't want to make anyone feel stupid because everyday I learn something different.

I just get so irritated with those smileys cuz some poeple seem so snotty or ignorant with them. But anyways..... no its not a body kit. The grounding kit....as stated on their website, supposed to help with the handling of the car and your losing horsepower w/o them. They're just some type of wires. I don't have much more information other than that. Do you know what a grounding kit does?

A grounding kit is supposed to "help your car run better by stabilizing electrical noise and voltage spikes and equalizing resistance and voltage between various ground points" thus improving ECU signals and throttle response resulting in better performance and reduction in flat spots.

But I haven't seen anything concrete to prove this yet.

Josh said "On a brand new or newish vehicle, a typical grounding kit will in all likelihood not have a huge impact on horsepower"

So ... I'll put up, my money in the cookie jar, because even by what the vendor himself said, the product doesn't seem worth it on a new car.

OOPS! i thought you were talking about a bodykit

as for the grounding kit you are speaking of i have no knowledge

azn370z · 01-29-2010, 09:52 PM

If you're talking about those wires it won't do anything. You may think after the install your car runs better etc. I've seen one dyno from Nissan sport magazine and it resulted in a loss of 2whp.

Well the only reason I say that is because "ignorant" means they don't know wtf their talking about. "Arrogant" would have fit better given that blah

blah

blah blah

yeah...
