DIY Ground Kit for $20
I went to a local car stereo shop, bought approx 8ft (actually 272cm) of 4 Gauge power wire (in cool transparent red) and 12 - 5/16" gold eyelet conectors for $20.
I measured for the sections I wanted and cut, striped, crimped and soldered the contectors on. Install was straight forward, I only had to remove part of my HKS suction kit (You'll have to remove your airbox). My impressions afterward: no big difference in Idle, bottom end seems much smoother, no hesitation or bucking in low rpms, top end rush in very smooth.
The hardest part was removing and installing the bolt on the back of the head that hold the engine hoist conection on, kinda cramped. I glad I didn't spend $69-$300!!
Here's my section lengths and pics to follow:
Driver's side fender to neg terminal: 38cm
neg term to top of tranny: 62cm
top of tranny to back of head (engine hoist attachment): 45cm
Head to intake: 25cm
intake to fire wall: 15cm
fire wall to passenger fender: 85cm
