Grounding Throttlebody?

Gotcha. Yea I would go your route. Or just use a little 2" piece of wire to go between the posts on the speakers.

 

I'll just leave this here...

right, but just using a lot less speaker wire

I hardly know anything about home speaker setups so dont take my advice! Im just here for the lol's and

 

Nice!!!

 

But that doesn't relate to throttle response, that just shows his battery is charging better with new wire vs what the OP called old corroded wire.

 

True, If I go spend an afternoon doing this. What would be the best way to measure success or progress??

 

I'm actually not sure... I think that other post definitely shows the benefit to having clean, uncorroded wiring though! As far as grounding the throttle body goes, so far the only results seem to be 'it feels like it shifts better' or improved throttle response.

 

Yea, and better shilfing means nothing in my standard tranny lol

 

I would be doing it expecting lil to zero improvement. But I spend an hour and a half in my vechical driving everyday, if theres a difference it'd notice. Most accurate butt dyno ever!

 

lol. go for it and see what heppens. i dont think it would hurt anything.

 

Check the voltage on the battery then turn your lights on and check. There will be a 1-2volt drop and the engine might even get pulled down by the load yet you will not fell the difference when you drive. Thus proving my point that electrical load poses little to no difference in performance.

 

If the engine gets pulled down, that would be a drag on performance now wouldn't it...

 

If the existing grounds are bad or marginal, I can see how additional grounds might help.

For those who wonder how grounds might help performance, a higher system voltage produces a higher secondary voltage from the coils -- a hotter spark.

 

Exactly, thats why it apparently improves

 

I still don't see how grounding the throttle body would come into play. I would buy your argument for grounding various other parts, but I don't see how grounding the throttle body would do anything to improve performance.

 

it might make a hotter spark but that really has no effect on power. the only effect it might have is a hotter spark plug tip leading to preignition

 

Please, drag this thread out into a field and bash it in the face! I beg of you!

 

Are you the fatty kid in the sig??

 

THAT EXPLAINS EVERYTHING! HE'S LIVING OFF OF HIS GOONIES $$$
