This little grounding wire upgrade stuff is actually a good idea and I might do it as well.

When I was having problems with my car thinking it was a grounding issue(which it wasnt). I notice some really bad grounds from the factory. The grounding wires were so worn out it just looked like they are due for a new set.

Thanks for shining light on this man.

no problem. i really like the way it came out. when i ordered the parts to do this the way i wanted to do it i bought a bit to much. i still have about 75 feet of 4 gauge wire and i ordered 60 ring terminals. HAHA. i could ground the empire state building if i wanted to.

Nice! Looks like cam sensor heat shields are necessary.

So track tomorrow?
