grounding wires

my search results on this topic were very limited, so Im just gonna ask for help. can you tell me if either of these are good? and/or it is worth the extra cash for the hyper ground? Also where do I find the hyper ground ones? and how easy are they to install? thanks in advance

Just make your own out of 4 Gauge power wire.

Yep, you could make your own from 4 gauge wire and a few other items and tools. But if just don't want to bother wotking at it then the kits don't seem too bad. I think basically all the kits are about the same. However, were and how you ground does make a big difference. I recently chanced the location of some of my ground points and did notice a difference.

Good luck with your decision!

Where do you have your ground points at? Mine are

IM, Right & Left Chassis, Tranny, and where it place is for the disty (on the FS-03s). As soon as I find a 14mm socket I'm goint to add one to the block.

Here's a site Gro Harlem did for grounding wires, it's very good. I think he'll be able to help you out a lot more than me but I'll send you guys my pic. Mind you, in this pic where I've grounded them now I've noticed a decrease in performance. I'll be experimenting soon with a new setup.


Here's Gro Harlems site for reference.

Hope this help!
