Ground Wire Question
 
is it really worth it. How much hp does it add. would a high guage speaker wire do the job.

you want a lower gauge wire. a 4 gauge wire is bigger than a 8 gauge.

i would get it if your current wire is corroaded or in bad shape. or if you have a huge sound system.

no, its not work the $75 for the premade kits. it cost $15 for the wires and crimps.

Am I missing something here? You're talking about the ground cable coming off of your battery, right?

sometimes when your electrical system is shot...it decreases the efficentcy of the car. so "fixing" the bad electrical loop, it "brings" back the horsepower that was once lost.

and theres more ground wires than just the one off the battery.

just kidding.

it's better for your car's electrical system in the long run, even though you might not notice a difference right away.

I used all four guage rockford fosgate cable.
