Anyone heard of grounding the throttle body to give a better throttle response?

CamaroKid300 · 12-09-2013, 09:41 AM

No, but porting the throttle body helps.

What do you mean "grounding"?

I've heard things about it as in taking a wire and running it from a ground point on your car to a screw on the throttle body for a better throttle response.

Yes, I've heard of it. It is bunk. There are vendor's out there that sell "Grounding Kits" to the ricer burner boyz. They promise all kinds of gains if you install a kit. It's all total B.S.

It's all part of that ricer math. anything can add more HP.

Yeah and wearing an aluminum foil hat gets you 20 extra horsepower!

Love those foil hats.

How the heck does it work without a positive and a negative?

+1. Exactly. Derp.

I'm gonna have to look this up now to see the supporting argument. Curious.

I'm just tired of my car taking a full second to respond to my foot.

Make sure you change out the blinker fluid and muffler bearings on a regular basis too for better performance.
