Performance ground wires really work!?!?! - Page 2

Wait, so what's this different method of grounding? Don't ground any of the wires to the battery at all? I'm confused now.. Can you elaborate, pete?

no no, the ebay kits have a piece of metal that attach to the battery, then you bolt all the grounds (that come in the kit) to the negative battery terminal...........thats no good. its much better to "link" the grounds (ground to the battery and attach that wire to the chassis, from that ground point attach another ground wire and attach the other end to the engine block, attach another wire on the engine block and ground it to the alt.....get the idea? they have multiple ground instead of one single ground.

Yes you want to attach to the negative/ground post on the battery. Most of the grounding kits work like a daisy chain...at least the better ones do.

HA! god, i could not think of a good example for the life of me lol, thanks

my explanation made no sense what so ever lol.

So you only want one wire connected to the battery? Or do you want all the grounding wires connected to the battery?

(WTF is a daisy chain?

)

actually two will connect to the battery...the first one actually starts at the chassis

<chassis----->battery-------->manifold-------> tranny------> intake manifold or throttle body---------> end at other side chassis or strut tower>

There will be a write in the April NPM..

also regrounding the MAF (splicing into the wire on the harness) is a good idea as well.
