Default redid my ground wires today!

definitely a cheap (<$50) and easy MOD with results that i'd reccommend to everyone.

i followed this DIY here: http://forum.2gn.org/viewtopic.php?t=9909

Results:
Noticiably better throttle response (so i assume more HP)
brighter headlights
i can roll up and down both my power windows at the same time without them slowing down

probably some other stuff im just not aware of.

anyway i only did it for the throttle response and i was happy with the results for such a simple mod, also the color matched wires looks good.

JUST DO IT!

I upgraded my guage wires to 4ag for less than $15. The throttle felt better but the windows still roll down slow...

Don't count on the extra hp

Did you buy a kit from somewhere? I redid mine for $15 using 8 gauge.

no.

i bought about
8 ft of StreetWires 4 ga wire (blue) from Crutchfield ($3 per foot +shipping=$30)
12-4 ga ring terminals from Best Buy ($10)
and a battery terminal from autozone ($2)
