dude... i found these POWERED EARTH CABLES (PEC)
at

http://www.takakaira.com/asp/template.a ... QqlnMokrNm

apparently they improve torque, headlights brightness, smooth running engine etc....

can anyone confirm that this is at all true...jus by adding proper grounding wires? :-?

you can buy them on e-bay for about $11.00 US plus postage. I dont know that you will see any results though.

any car audio shop can make up grounding cables, but they won't make much difference unless you have dodgy wiring already, or are pushing the limits of the ignition system.

I wouldn't imagine you'd ever see more than 2-3rwkw gain from this?? That's if your wiring was pretty dodgy before hand.....

Helps if you've had engines in and out a few times and your earth straps are getting torn up.

Otherwise it's just a rice accessory.

yeah but it has a resistance of 0.007 MOhms per 1 km of cable length.
thats almost like in a superconductive state (i.e. zero resistance)
is that like any better compared to the stock strappings/connections if they already have good connections,

....hahaha....

TIPPER quoted:
"you can buy them on e-bay for about $11.00 US plus postage. I dont know that you will see any results though"

this equates to like around 4 dollarrs per kw...
isit even worth it for that few rwkw?
