Dude you are honestly wasting your money if you buy one of those grounding kits...why you ask??? Because you can make your own grounding kit and it will be a cheaper..

I have done this myself, just went to my local audio shop and got some 4 guage power wire (this was blue in color) and spent about $40 bucks cdn with all the connectors...

This was more than enough to make a whole ground kit..what I grounded was the following:

VTEC Solonoid
Throttle Body
intake manifold
upgrade oem block ground and tranny ground
upgrade battery ground

And thats it, much more less then buyin one, just do it yourself

eh, $60. I bet I could spend close to that for the length and guage of wire needed, connectors, plastic sleeves(to cover the plastic part of the connectors), bolts, washers and battery post terminal and the fancy smancy ground dist block thingy. I wouldn't mind paying $60 for the Arospeed kit, but no way in hell would I pay $100 or more for the hyperground kit:nono:

I with you man. I'd rather make my own and add that little touch that I did it and you can get a little more custom when you do it your self. Your options are open more.
So which guage wire should I use? 4? 0?

I'll have to check out the local audio shops around here. $130 for 5 wires is ridiculous. The Arospeed seems nice too, but I think I can DIY for the same price, and do it exactly how I want.

Ahh, he's got the Arospeed kit huh? I don't know why you'd be getting this kit, but i'm doing it not for hp gains(although i'll take any hp increases i can) but to hopefully help ease my disco light prob i haveh:
I'm not expecting HP gains either. I just want everything to run smoother, and not want my lights to dim everytime I turn something on, such as the A/C.
