Question R-1 Sports Grounding Wires

Does anyone have a step by step instructions on this product, or a similar one??? These grounding wires are supposed to increse hp by 3-5
and it should give you a bit more torque on the low end, and basically make the electrical system run more efficently. So if anyone knows how to install of where to installs these wires it would be much appreciated.

What electrical part is this ground wires for? I pretty much 100% sure that it will not even give you any HP increase at all by changing the ground wires unless you have an intermittent problem in the circuit.

The only electrical part that controls your car's performance is the computer (unless it's a carburetor). The ECU circuit in your car is very complex, a slight change of resistant will cause your ECU to operate differently so I highly recommend you not to fool around with the circuit unless you know the what you are doing and the consequences.

The ground wires in your factor car should flow normally at it's best operation, it will not make a difference if you only change the ground side of the circuit due to the HOT side wire gauge remain the same (it also depends on your resistant [load]). Anyway, I am just curious on where did you hear that it will increase your HP?

That reply was so bullshit.

Sorry to burst your bubble. But everyone who reads this that has a subscription to Import Tuner will back me up on this. They Dyno'd Similar ground wires on a Honda S2000 and got a top gain of 2.1 hp @6500 RPM, A Mazda RX-7 TT with a max gain of 15.3 @ 6500 RPM, and on a Nissan Maxima that got 11.6 hp gain @ 4500 RPM. So in fact despite all the bs you just got new ground wires do really increase hp. The websites listed for the ground wires installed are www.sunautomobile.com & www.xs-engineering.com

but it will give little to no power on a civic engine....i mean they are testing high hp engines with this product, in the ad they test a gsr and the gain is like 5. something hp im sure it would be a very tiny or no increase in hp on a low hp engine, it would provide a stronger ground tho....
