ive read alot of people seeing brighter headlights, clearer music and a better idle from them but i dont know anyone that has used them personally. it might be more benefical to older cars that have worn or corroded(sp) grounding points:dunno: ---

grounding the intake manifold close to the throttle cable helps with better spark. ---

> [@BlueMeanieTSi](#): > > grounding the intake manifold close to the throttle cable helps with better spark. whitey’s car doesn’t have a throttle cable grounding points are 50/50 in my book… people claim upped MPG and better ‘power’ but that’s all BS… however, a bad ground is detrimental to a car’s performance… i’d say, on a weekend go get some 8 gauge wire, some end caps, a case of beer, and replace a few here and there… ---

look at it this way, it can’t hurt you accept for a few bucks for some wire and time. more grounds are never a bad thing ---

It’s very popular in the Buick GN crowd. Improved ECM voltage/performance and improved fuel pump performance…better ground path yields less heat(electrical resistence) better performance.
