i dont see it giving you .2 gain on the 1/4 more likely comes down to driving skill
I know people how have done it and say it makes the lights brighter and starts easer
.2 gain for $40-$50 that would be the best bang for your buck going

Not flaming anyone here, but 7-10 does seem a little high for such a basic modification. I can see a little increase due to being able to ground the ignition coils/module. But 7-10 horses???

A standard point or HEI set up definately needs good ground to give out optimal performance... Even that won't produce that much gain unless it is an aftermarket performance part.

I'd like to see the Dyno on that. I'm not saying I wouldn't do this either but I am not going to expect that much out of it.

I've read in a few tuner magazines where they have done dyno tests with a ground kit installed and they have all showed a few extra hp. I work in a shop and know from experience that a bad ground can give poorer performance so I believe that a better one can give alittle better performance.
