Hey people, I have a 99' Accord LX 5-spd w/ the VTEC 4cyl. I was wondering if i would see an improvment in HP and TQ and everything else that is said to happen with these kits. Thanks

Umm, I really doubt you'll see an improvement. Even on a high performance engine, I don't know if it would help that much. If your looking for some starting mods, i/h/e is usually the common path.

If the ground wires you have are substandard(meaning wires aren’t functioning the way they should either burnt out or not making proper contact due to rust) you will notice a difference if everything grounded properly, if you really feel there’s an issue there, replace everything with 4 gauge speaker wire, did I notice a difference? No, but I know everything’s grounded properly so I wont have any issues there.

A few of my ground wires are starting to turn green on the connection points, especially the ones from the battery to the radiator support, so i think i'll just go ahead and buy the ground kit.

Oh, if your wires aren't looking too good it definitely won't hurt to replace them. Didn't know they were turning green. I thought you may have been looking for a way to squeeze out some more hp. I always am .

hey f23 i dont think they have ever tried a ground wire kit....for damn sure youll notice it. youll notice it like you would notice the difference if you put NGK iridium plugs in your car.. nothing thats going to sink your eyes into your socketsor anything but if you go from loafing to mashed you will absolutely notice increased throttle response

ummmm yeah, lightshow, once again, if your car is properly grounded you wont notice anything with a groundkit, it goes back to that whole properly done thing
