Grounding Kits

Has anyone dynoed with one of these on to know if they really add the claimed hp? I want one but $100+ for something that doesn't really add 4-7hp isn't in my budget.

Ya i have been thinking about getting one also but i havent seen any dyno numbers. I dont think you will see much on the dyno but it is good to have either way. Let me know what you guys find out.

save yourself 75 bucks and make your own. The local stereo shop will have everything you need to make the entire install a breeze.

I don't know if it will add any more horsepower, but when I installed mine I have my turbo timer set up to display voltage and it would jump between 12 and 14 volts w/o the grounding kit. With the grounding kit the volts only jump between 14.5 and 14.9 volts at the most usually only see 14.64 - 14.72.

I installed on over the summer and it seemed to smooth out my idle a bit. Also turning on accessories (a/c, headlights, etc) didn't dim my lights as much
