You could pay $100 or more for a pre-made kit or just make your own from negative terminal battery cable( 4-guage copper). It runs about $3 to $5 depending on the length at any auto parts store. I made my own for about $9 out of pocket. It smoothed out the idle and fixed my dimming headlights on my turbo VW. Don't expect any horsepower gains or increase in gas mileage, they stay about the same.

Try the search again when it's up... use the terms "MacGyver powered ground". I do a point by point rebuttal of the magazine ads and (at the time) recent reviews of grounding systems.

Save your money, they're a load of crap. Clean up the ground points on the stock system if the car is more than a few years old and you'll get the same benefit.
