I could see startup, but I don't see how a new ground wire could improve proformance. Once your car starts, you don't even use your battery anymore. Everything is ran off of the alternator. As far as I've been taught, the battery is only for start up, and you can actually take the battery out of the car after you start it.

Please someone tell me if you've heard otherwise.

It is otherwise; the power in the battery is just for startups; but the engine runs off power in the battery all the time; but the alternator provides that power and more- the alternator is connected to the battery.

Basically, it's like this:

Alternator --> battery --> engine

engine starts: -75 battery power
engine continues: -5 battery power every second
alternator power: +25 every second

the power still goes THROUGH the battery- but its power that comes straight from the alt.

this basically results in cleaner spark; which doesn't do much
