never underestimate...

...what a plug change will do. i have had some serious problems with my car and had gone through every thing. it was shooting flames at idle (with a cat), running like ****, and would not want to rev. then i pulled my head out of my *** and put on some grounding wires and changed the plugs and wires and now she runs great. time to get a dataloggit and start tunning the beast.

you attach one end of the cable to yourself, and the other end of the cable to a really long metal pole. Make sure it's storming really bad when you do this. Preferably thunder and lightning. If you do it correctly you should get a giant "boost" in HP. No but you have to look in your service manual and find where the factory grounds are and replace them with bigger cables.

Never got the service manuals with my car. Could I simply get 8 awg speaker quality ground and put connectors on it?

Pick up a service manual. They are worth their weight in gold!
