OK, I'll make myself more clear.

There is no point in doing that.

I've heard from many people who say they've felt a difference, maybe not in HP but in idle, brighter lights, audio, and such, nothing significant. Mine look dull and changing them wouldn't hurt, only costs a few bucks so y not.

btw anyone know what guage wire the stock grounds are? 10guage?

Jesus f'ing christ, this guy just doesn't get the point.

If you want to replace the wires, do it. Don't expect us to justify/rationalize the purchase, though. I'm a pro tech for a living, and I can tell you that there is no point in replacing the stock grounds. Take two sugar pills and call me in the morning, I'm used to it.

That's not that hard to do. I can detect ~2psi variances too.

buddy chill out, or simply don't reply, I get your point I just don't care and would like input from others

It's gotta make some kinda difference, even if not noticeable, otherwise why would companies do tests to prove it. I'd rather trust their test results then ur words.

You would trust a company who's goal is to make money by selling parts. Whether it works or not...you trust them over the CONSUMER's opinions and facts? It is US that puts their products to use. It is US that SPENDS the money.

Do you TRUST everything you read? If i paid some trusted magazine to print false test results, you will believe that over personal experiences and consumer reports?


It's your money. I guess you can do whatever you want. We are just here to steer you in the right direction if we can.

I take it back, I don't trust EVERYTHING companies put out about results, but some are effective. my grounds look horrible rusted out so I thought I'd give it a shot replacing them, not just for looks..

no, that's why I'm not taking in everything you guys say'in, I'm sure there's more ppl that have something positive to say about these kinds of products, maybe not on this board
