Default any experience with cheap upgrades? grounding systems, voltage stabilizer...

So I've been minorly intrigued by some products by SUN automobile that include a high perfromance grounding kit, a magnetic fuel enhancer, and a voltage stabilizer. Based on my understandings of mobile installations the stabilizer and grounding kit make sense (although I doubt the increase in HP claims). It's this magnetic fuel enhancer which goes on the fuel line like the magnetic one that's attached to my power cord to my plasma that I mostly question. Any one try these or hear anything about them? they run like $50. All jokes aside I was embarrased to ask.

the magnets are a load of**** the grounding kit on the other hand is proven and improves start up and spark efficiency which means better mpg but that's lost due to heavy foot on the gas peddle

Like said above the magnet is crap. The grounding kit can be useful if you have extra electronics installed. I dont know what the kit cost but you can get power/ground wire from the flea market (4-8awg) by the foot and make your own. All that kit is....is power wire some connectors and a distribution block.

Thanks guys. Just like I thought. What about the voltage stabilizer or does the grounding kit do the same thing in a sense?

Adding additional grounds to the battery, engine to firewall, engine to frame, alternator & starter should be all you need.
