Question Ground wires

Have any of you guys tried the hyper ground wires or the HKS earth system? I heard for like a hundred bucks they can give you like 5hp and 10lb of torque. I'm thinking about getting some so please if you can help that would be nice.

i've had one for about 8 months....probaly longer.
havent installed it yet
but i know that the grounds on the 240 are subject to erosion....our S13's are 10+ years old...
buy an ebay one and slap it on....
even if you dont get HP your car will appreciate it

do a custom one cause the ebay systems have wires that arent 100% copper. u will want 100% copper for better electron transfering thingy. the guys at altimas.net mostly do it themselves. get sum 2 or 3 gauge wire and a distributor block. its not that hard i did a ground for my altenator.

Can someone tell me what are ground wires, where are they, and how do they give you more torque?

i'll try to help u as best i can. grounding wires help electrical things in ur car perform better such as spark plugs, altenator, air flow meter. some people i know have put them on their intake manifold and a ground for the injectors as well. since they help these systems perform better then they will help the engine create more power. some cars like hondas have a ground for the valve cover but i havent seen it on other cars. also upgrading ur battery ground to a bigger gauge is recommended. i know its a lil vague in some areas but i hope it helped
