Some people say grounding wires help clean up their idle & help with power transfer.. Keeping the lights on & not dimming when other things are turned on.. All depends on whether you have a $100 dollars to spend or not.

if you want to do a grounding kit, dont waste your money on that pre-made stuff. go to an audio shop and get some power wire and some posts... may take a little more time, but it should end up being half of what big names will charge... plus you can then say that you actually made something that is on your car. As for the high voltage ignition amp....... must admit im clueless there

You know, I read about how everyones idle is always improved.. I don't see any problem with my idle... Maybe I should do the grounding mod to my car to see what happens.
Maybe idle is rough, and I'm just use to it.

Whatever you do, do not buy those eBay knock off kits with the gold plating. We installed one in a friends car and found that the round piece like xdeedubbx has on the battery was not conducive at all.
