There are people on this board that just make them on their own. If you want to go the ultracheap route then that would be your best bet. Im sure one of them will answer your post with how to do it. Its pretty easy, ive just never done it. As far as results, the tables are divided. Some say do it while others say its a waste of time and money.

Thumbs up hks

I have been looking into these for awhile now and the jury seems to say can't hurt. I have allways thoughtthat motors were undergrounded and if anything can aid in the electronics why not. I spend tons of time makeing sure that every aspect of my sterio system is grounded seperatly why not the motor components?

ive said this before but ill say it again. i didnt think this would do anything to my car, but one day, i was bored, went out, bought some 4 guage and made a nice pretty ground kit, i said to myself, "does what its supposed to, looks pretty." and then i drove it, very noticable difference, smoother all the way up to 6k. no more jumps in the power band. i say it is worth it, but others say it is a waste of time.
i wouldnt say i got any more power out of it, but my car runs a lot smoother.
just my $.02

Do you have access toa dyno? We need someone to do pre and post dyno runs with the grounding mod. I would guess that we wont see any jumps in hp or torque. But maybe like mysubaruimp said, the powerband will be much smoother with the mod.
