So what exactly does this ground kit do? Does it just help the current flow better thru the car or what?

Dave, I'd recommend you get black covered leads since light or clear colors can discolor over time with heat. My plastic is clear over the silver wire, and it's discolored some with the heat. I have the Teck Kit and am glad I got it (car ran smoother after).

Thumbs up I have the TM kit...

I never could get ahold of ANYONE at Teck Kit and finally gave up on them. Todd @ TM Engineering sold me a very nice set that has yet to be installed. I am going to plan a trip down to his shop and get it done (along with a few other "goodies") soon.
I will take a digi pic tomorrow of the cables and connectors and post them. Mine are silver (clear) for a stealth look.

The only thing to notice is that he as a 400 and I have a 300 so some of the attachment points are not exactly the same.
I'm scrolling through this thread wondering if I have any pics and find Neo has already posted. LOL. From the pre-K&N, pre-SRT days. That's the Teck kit, BTW.

Any of you guys with grounding kits for the GS4, would you mind scanning and emailing me the install instructions? Or faxing them to me?
