Holy crap are you talking about what I think you're talking about?





As in, running ground wires all over the place to improve power?

Maby the guys from this site could help you out....... http://kalecoauto.com/

I did something similar to this, BUT it was for audio reasons only. Upgraded ground on battery, wires from batt to hot lead then to alt etc... Only improvement I saw was less voltage drop during bass notes, not a performance mod.

Haha, ricers these days, more power from grounds.... I hear a new one each day.
Unless you are running advanced electronics or maybe an advanced ignition setup I think the stock ones are more than enough.
But yeah, maybe with aftermarket stereo stuff, it would be beneficial.

no, grounds wont give you more power, but a properly prepped ground will help you use your power

VHT is a good choice for that.

i dont see why people upgrade the ground for stereos, the weight of the subs in back should help your ground power.


(if anybody took that i was serious about what i said, go chop off your *****)

Its for car audio reasons, and its known as upgrading the "magic three" wires. The wire from the bat to the alt, ground to the engine, and ground to the batt. No performance gains, as suggested above.
