Ground wire kit...
Have anyone done this yet to a RL!?? I plan to do this on the weekend. I have heard they add around 5-10hps lol I think it would be great since the RL is hard to find any performance mod, so try to squeeze out any avalible hp

You're welcome.
Ground kits dont add 5-10hp. It adds maybe 1. It just reduces static power by properly grounding your components and smooths out the stray power.

Sigh, I'd hoped somebody would have answered this, so I skipped it. Sorry.
Those grounding kits really can add lots of power to cars with shitty grounds and/or dodgy electrics. I doubt you'll run into either of those issues on your car. I cannot say how important a good ground is, so no matter what else I say, "hell yeah put it on."

I've got a grounding kit on both my Legend Coupe and my NSX. I really think the Coupe runs smoother...now that I've driven it a bit.
On the NSX, I added a kit because the technical guys at AEM said it would smooth out the readings I was getting with my serial gauge. They were right. My A/F readings used to jump all over the place...now the are much steadier. Can you feel a difference in power? Maybe psychologically - that's about it. It certainly can't hurt anything, though. my 2 cents

20mpg? have you replaced the fuel filter ever?
I just got a cheap ground wire kit off eBay and used legendtuner.org for reference on the grounding points. They also have those ones that bolt onto a hub that's usually placed near the battery. just dont spend too much on the whole setup - like others have said, it's mostly to dress the engine up. I noticed some improvement in a few categories, but nothing phenomenal.

I didn't replace the fuel filter or anything at all lol just don't step hard on the gas pedal...BTW I notice that Legendtuner.org has only one ground wire connect to the battery negative terminal..from what I heard you should connect all the ground wires to the negative terminal. Is there any difference?
