3. Improve Shifting and Reduce Shift Lag on Automatic Vehicles

4. Reduces the loss of HP and Torque.

As I have a 7AT, I am of course very interested in benefit No. 3 above.

I am having a difficult time wrapping my head around this one and understanding these benefits? Would appreciate any feedback if in fact these claims are true. These grounding kits retail for less than $100.00. If true, it would have to be the best bang for the buck Mod there is, right?

Someone help me to understand this better. Thanks.
Some people report better performance, but I'm guessing placebo effect. If you want one of these, go buy wire, ends and heat shrink tubing and make your own for a fraction of the cost.
