Could someone explain the ground wire mod, what parts are needed (part #'s if possible) and the step by step process?Thanks,Brian

Hey my dad is getting me some copper ground from his work to do this, but i wanted to do the "parallel" method as in series the later parts wont get the best ground. there are some battery terminal expander things where you can connect multiple wires to it. Has anyone bought one? if so where.AND does anyone know the lengths needed for the parallel method of grounding everything from the battery?

I did the search last night but didnt find the exact info I needed... I'll have to do much more r&d as for the conclusion, there are many reviews of it helping and dyno's. It also makes sense to me (Im in a circuits / physics 2) and grounding right from the battery to each part,which would be better than a daisy chain/in serial.

But I keep an open mind - I'll watch the forums and see who does it next.
