FL Grounding system opinions

my car "only sometimes" runs like hell warming up sometimes not even able to get in 1st with out it bogging out and stuttering,

i think its a dramatic 3,000 rpm hesitation

i hear bigger grounding cables makes a smoother ride and should be one of the first things to upgrade, my FD is stock so i need opinions and help please plus im a new FD owner with some knowledge so any feedback would be appriciated ! ! ! !

Grounding cables are hit or miss. In many cases they help some, in a few cases they "fix" the issues, and in many cases they make no difference. The real fix to hesitation issues is often an aftermarket ECU and general tune-up.

I have a really nice set of grounding cables, PM me if you're interested.

I have a Pettit Unlimited ECU & many grounding cables but still have that good old 3k hesitation.

Many have said that a Power FC is the cure...... we shall see when I go single

If you go single your sure to cure sequential hesitation at 3k. You might have lag, but not hesitation.
