Features
- Wire: True 8 AWG OFC full copper marine grade wire for
maximum conductivity and corrosion resistance. Has similar conductivity to 4 gauge CCA wire with better corrosion resistance - Ring terminals: Full copper ring terminals with better conductivity and corrosion resistance than gold plated terminals
- 3M heat shrink on each connection
- Includes everything needed for installation:
- 5 custom cut lengths of wire for a chain connection that is proven to provide better performance than high cost “circle” grounding kits that connect major engine components all across the
engine bay - Full color detailed installation instructions
- Bolt for securing wire to passenger side intake manifold if your car does not have one
- Nut for securing wire on back of alternator. Easiest alternator mounting of any kit

Instructions
1. Start with wire 1 (long) that runs from the passenger side strut tower to the passenger side intake manifold.
Scrape off paint behind wiring harness bracket then secure ring terminal between the bracket and strut tower.
Run other end of wire 1 to passenger side intake manifold.
2. Secure the other end of wire 1 and one end of wire 2 (short) to the passenger side intake manifold. Use the supplied bolt if your car does not have one in this spot.
Run other end of wire 2 to the throttle body.
3. Remove upper throttle body bolt and connect other end of wire 2 and one end of wire 3 (short) to this bolt.
Run other end of wire 3 to driver’s side intake manifold.
4. Connect other end of wire 3, one end of wire 4 (short), and one end of wire 5 (long) to driver side intake manifold.
5. Connect other end of wire 4 to the back of the alternator using the supplied nut if your alternator bolt is long enough. If not, loosen the easiest to get to alternator bolt, cut center part of ring terminal off, slide terminal in between bolt and alternator, and re-tighten bolt.
