I was reading the latest June 2003 import tuner and came across the Hyper Ground System in their turning pages. Under pros they said it had become a favorite product for them since it can make a lot of power and is pretty affordable comparted to other aftermarket products. However the Dyno showed absolutely no HP gain. And for cons they said it was the first time they were unable to produce a lot of power with the wires.
Does anybody have previous issues of this mag where they do produce a lot of power with grounding wires? Anybody have these? Know someone who does? Heard about them? |

What I am saying is that the plastic material on the wires would melt. There are not made to have that much heat. That is why you would use ground straps like what Nology have. It is a braid wire terminated at both ends. When you make your wires, termination is a problem. There is a art on wires termination. How you crimp, solder and so on. Have you ever wonder why current carry wires get hot at there connections/termination points?  As I stated before, you can make your own properly, but when you start moving up the ranks, get something that was properly made and demonstrated to work more efficiently.
