Engine bay grounds

WTF is this about increasing spark discharge by adding more and larger engine bay grounds. Apparently it increases HP? I mean I understand the concept electrically, but how much HP can you add from spark plugs. If you were to get like a racing set of plugs, wires, and distributor plus the grounds what would you see? Like maybe an extra 5 HP?

i've seen many articles about ground wires. it improves the whole cars electrical system and it does add hp/trq, i've seen many mags with cars that done the ground wires and gains do varey and are minimal.

well the stats I have seen the max is like 5-7HP w/ a grounding kit upgrade. W/ all circuits grounded better it means a better current/circuit throughout the car thuse helping that hp/tq #...

I'm going to try and take advantage of it once I get a chance...well once it starts to warm up..lol

You don't really need to buy a ground kit though. Just make sure your existing grounds are clean, well connected.
