make your own, its pretty easy and will only take a couple of hours at the longest

diy cost will be anywhere from $30 - $50 depending on how fancy you want to get

Theres a write up in the install/how to section, just search "ground wire kit"

i'm pretty happy with my weapon-r grounding kit. defenitly smoothed stuff out. I paired it with magnecor 8.5 spark plug wires and NGK one step colder plugs.

After I turned the car on it was silky smooth.

I've got a Buddy Club grounding kit and have noticed an increase in gas mileage and torque. I'll try to get a hold of the before and after dyno sheets with the kit, or you can check out the upcoming issue of TPR magazine.

yeah they have one. Go to weapon-r.com

They fit fine, just swap out the old ones pop in the new.

Also while your on the site check out their secret weapon intake, it's real nice, and you get awesome power gains!

i am not interested in buying this product for added horsepower, i would buy cams or something else if that were the case. i am just interested in smoothing out my idle.

No, then again I'm running 272s. If I want a smoother idle I just turn on the A/C.
