Fd3BOOST for sure its no secret that on an efi vehicle the electrical system must perform at peak in order for you to make some gains, there are so many electrical components that need a good supply of electricity, but is normal 4 guage ground straps or free ones from Petitt going to perform as well the the sun ones? because the sun wires are suppose to be 1477 strands and all copper, and supposed to be put in some type of daisy chain config to get better power , hmmm just wondering

, you guys think its cause of the older wires , perhaps more resistance build in the wire due to corrosion or heat in the FD's engine bay


I have had a little experiance with electronics and when I took apart my grandfathers tv to rewire the thing the wires were so old that they disolved in my hands. Depending on the loads the wires can easily be worn from the current or age and weathering. And since it is a japanese car I doubt they werent too concerned about the quality of wires they used. I can see how an older model got a gain that big. When it comes to car I have also noticed that age can bring down the Hp. I am guessing this is where some of it goes!

Just for info. I think around 30 companies here make them. Most are the same

kit, but usually just thick wires and clips. granted I sell them.



IF you want to know what all the big companies say. It doesnt do ***** unless

your car body has around or over 100,000 then it might be a good idea, since your

grounds get a little weak.



I have one wire for my egine and one for my alternator, and that helps a little, just

makes the idle a little smoother. HP i dont think so IMHO



I have heard of like DRAGON having great feedback on it.....



I do know of a company that will soo be releasing a ground, just like an aircraft usings

it will actually connect in the wheel hub. They wanted me to try one out, but I didnt have

time to let them have the car. Well see...............

Replacing my ground wires helped my car a little. 15HP- I don't know about that.
