Grounding

[Appauldd]

Understanding that our electronic ignitions need good grounds to make the best spark, has anyone considered adding more ground wires to the ignition coils??

I know when I had my Evo the grounding was horrible. I noticed smoother idle and brighter headlights by adding a self made grounding kit.

Any thoughts???

No way it could hurt anything. I say go for it!

for the electrical/sound system you can do the big three upgrade....got this from crutchfield.



The Big Three wiring upgrade
A good, cost-effective improvement is to perform the "Big Three" electrical upgrade. This will vastly improve your vehicle's electrical system, allowing more current to flow easier to all components. This upgrade replaces or augments three key cables in the electrical system with 1/0 or 4 gauge wires: the battery ground to chassis wire, the chassis to engine block wire, and the alternator plus to battery plus wire. This increases your electrical system's current flow capability, ensuring a more consistent voltage under varying demand conditions.

An unfortunate possible side effect of doing the Big Three is that occasionally it only makes your lights dim even worse. This happens because the amplifier is now able to suck juice better from the system through the bigger straw (the new cables).

I was asking for performance reasons; not for the sake of a big stereo.
