well it's easy.. buy some big cables, like gauge 4, couple of feets with terminals for it and replace your factory grounds with that. less than $20.

i've been trying to find the PIVOT RAIZIN VOLTAGE STABILIZER, its not just ground wires but it also has a unit. last i've seen it was under $50 but i was too broke @ the time to buy it. now i rarely see those voltage stabilizers

I had one on my DC5. Worked great. For some reason when I would come up to a stop light or sign my car would drop down rpm's to like 300-400 and shoot back up to 750 or what ever the normal idle rpm was. Also at night when the rpms would drop, the lights would dim so I knew it was an electrical problem. I saw one of those voltage things and decided I would try it and it worked great.

I agree.

This is something I need to do to my car. My bud who did my motor build said it would be a good idea after he got a look at my grounds. Sounds like my car is doing what bongo667 says was going on with his car at night, my lights dim when I downshift/let the clutch slip too much when moving from a stop, and let the rpm's go too low. Gotta replace my crusty ass, 11 year old grounds! I know its not my battery, it only 2 years old.
