Yep. A lot of the time its in your head though. I guess since you already have it go for it then lol

I googled this, and I've been through probably 8 message boards at this point, no one has had any gains, and no one is recommending purchasing one except the people who sell them.

You can check out the current issue of DSPORT where they installed a grounding kit on an '06 G35 that's immaculately maintained (one of the staff) and put I believe 1.2hp to the wheels on the dyno, after an intake and exhaust.

This isn't a supercharger, but depending on the vehicle, and condition of the electrical system, can have benefits. We've seen 10hp on the dyno with 300ZX's.

And if you look at AT guys, even more benefits in improved transmission function.

Appreciate knowing it won't really add much now, but may add some down the road.
