I agree, I mean I'm an electrician and if a customer was to run a single 120v 15a receptacle then proceed to drive a half dozen ground rods in the ground it would drop ohm readings (marginally) but is not needed for the application. But if that's what the customer wants and they got the money to do it...more power to them.

like I said it wont hurt, but the return on the investment would be negligible simply because it's overkill. I feel the same way about this kit. BUT, if a car owner wanted to do it meh its their money. In my opinion it's money better spent elsewhere. The only reason I'm doing it is nearly all my under hood caps (oil, radiator etc.) are all red with silver Z accents so it would just enhance the look. Plus hell I literally can put my hands all the components for free, all I will have in it is my time.

If the gremlins in the motor decide they like the extra grounding and throw me a hp or two all the better.

I certainly wouldn't purchase a pre made overpriced one for what you can get from a dealer though.
