Hyperground Wires

I had a question for anyone that installed these on their wrx's...
What size do we need? would the small suffice or do we need the medium?
Also, what spots are the grounds most effective. I've heard that the different spots for the grouding give drastically different results, and since I don't have a dyno in my garage.... If any one has gone to a dyno or have any information, please let me know..
Thanks

By wiring everything to a ground it helps to stop electrical interferences that your engine and all its electrical parts produce. Those interferences can mess with your ECU, and correcting this problem can help the car to run more efficiently. thats probably where they are getting the increased horsepower numbers, although I find gaining 5hp with ground wires a little hard to believe. It also stops interferences to the radio when your running other things like the ac or headlights, etc.

Waste of $$$$ unless you have high power stereo to interfere with ecu. If something as simple as an additional ground would improve performance, don't you think subaru would have already done it?

The Wires DO NOT add power, it makes the respond quicker, the 5 HP is just coming sooner, it's not 5 more HP. They just show up at lower RPM. I have 4 guage wire, Two on the intake manifold, and one on one of the three shock bolts. It does respond faster, but as for more power it's just not happening. This mod helps more the high output parts you have because it will have the power to use. You can just go to a car audio store and buy 8 feet of 4 guage grounding wire, and a new batter clamp.

I know what they do, and I'm not looking for more hp...
The wrx that import tuner did gained 10 lbs of torque.. that's what i want...
The thing I'm wondering about is the configuration or where to wire these suckers... depending on where you wire them, you can get almost no change or a noticeable change..
And the difference between the hyperground wires from the other wires is that it's almost pure copper, so you get the least resistance w/ them... so.. that's what i want for my baby wrx...
so anyone know of a good configuration for the grounds?
