anyone with a 6mt with a grounding kit? if so, what are your thoughts? worth it? i feel like that stillen group buy is calling my name, haha.

 

On STILLEN catalog it saids it will gain 2-4hp

I know there good for the auto, but I would like to know the same thing. Good question. Hopefully someone can give us some info on that.

 

Yea me too! It seem's to Improve the Auto, But what about us 6MT guys? Would really like to know also!

 

I am getting a kit.

 

Any updates?

 

I still haven't installed the kit I got...

 

I don't know if grounding will actually produce measurable horsepower or not. Technically speaking, it SHOULD produce a little, but I wouldn't think it would be much and certainly not enough to be truly significant. It helps the car's electrically controlled systems (just about everything) work more efficiently. I don't make any HP claims on mine, I generally feel HP claims on components like this seem a little bit like "snake oil" sales to me. If someone wants to do a before and after dyno on my Grounding Wire Set, I'd be willing to offer a discount on the set to get the dyno results. It would be really simple since it's only a 10 minute installation. I'd be pleasantly surprised if it is more than 2 HP.

I have a 4 AWG Grounding Wire set on my 6MT. What benefits? I have noticeably smoother and quicker throttle response and smoother idling. I will be adding a significant amount of aftermarket audio components and I know for a fact that it will help out in that regard from numerous past experiences.

 

theres no reason to believe a grounding kit will add any hp. in fact, it would be pointless to test since it would be within the margin of error on the dyno. not sure what the margin of error is, but i highly doubt any dyno has a resolution of 2hp.

 

I believe it was super street (not positive) that did a dyno run after installing a grounding kit. They showed a couple horsepower gain. Are you going to feel those extra ponies? Doubtful but its an added bonus. I don't think people are putting these on for that reason. Its mainly for smoother idling/shifting and after market stereo etc. So I think its pretty much pointless to argue about hp gains on a grounding kit.
