Don't bother. It gives a gain on VERY few cars (the RX-7 may be one of them).

Perhaps a search will reveal the fact that these grounding kits are worthless. Do you really want a long explanation? How is your knowledge of electro-magnetics? Basic electrical theory? This question has been asked and answered, and the detailed posts from people who know what they are talking about are not conducive to a typical Internet "sound bite". The "they work great and I picked up 20 HP" are conducive to same. My advice is that there are at erlast 10 worthwhile mods and that this one is 101 on the Top 100 list. I'm an EE, but what do I know?

Like garden hose sized speaker cables and tubes, those that think a grounding kit is worthwhile generally cannot be talked out of them.
