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.
