Grounding kit...

Post by Minh »

A good grounding setup can increase a few HP and better overall electrical conductivity for more accurate gauge readings, brighter lights, hotter ignition, etc...

Has anyone personaly put grounding setup for their Roadster?

If so, please give details...

Thanks

Minh-

Way back when I was autocrossing, I had a high-speed miss (5-7k) that I just couldn't track down. When I finally put the ground strap back on between the engine and the frame, the problem went away.

That's the extent of my experience with grounds.

I strapped a mounting bolt from each of the following to the frame; the alternator, starter and the block. Make sure to buzz through the paint with a dremel before bolting to the frame, then you can glue or repaint to protect against corrosion. Taylor makes pretty straps in a variety of lengths...TR
