ive heard they do. if you think about it, it does make since. cuz with a better ground everything electrical would work that much better and with a better ground you can prob achieve a hotter spark. so i think it could b worth it.

it only works if you have a grounding poblem already, the benefits dont outweigh the cost. my friend made his own for what he spent like $25 then do the benefits outweigh the cost but if it is a high dollar kit not really worth it.

yes, they do work, mine works great, and it took like an hour to make it and another hour to install, well worth the time and 20$ i spent............ even if you dont have a grounding problem, they help the electronics get a more constant supply of electricity, helping them perform their duties at a better than average level...........

4 is the best, i used 6 cause i couldnt find a 4 guage to buy in one 25 foot section, and the 5 ft sections cost like 9 bucks a pop......... with the 6 ft u can use jumper cables, just cut em to length, solder and crimp the connections, and hook it up, simple..........

i bought the greddy grounding kit, hooked it up to my valve cover, throttle body, intake mani, block, head, and trani and it works beautifuly. however i had to run a wire from the grounding kit through my car b/c i relocated the battery... but you prolly won't have to.
