I would love to see the dyno results on this 4-16 BHP gain (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bs.gif)
Maybe he offers free CNC head porting with those battery ground cables (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Free headers (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I have been searching for an extra 16 BHP for quite some time and I can't believe it was hiding this whole damn time in my stock battery cables??? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)

BATTERY UBERGROUND MOST PORSCHE 911 912 '68-88 MODELS

4-16 BHP gain + Overall Improvements US Made UL Approved


1 KabelMann Uberground Negative cable

KM0012 - 12inches overall length


Fitment for:

Porsche
911 '64-'88
924/944 '77-'96

BMW
316 318i 320i 323 325 328 330 e i is,
520 523 525 528 530 535 540 e i is,
M3 M5 M6 model BMW's early and late

Mercedes Benz:
190E 260E 300E 500E
E320 E420 E430 E500
C220 C230 C280 C320 C36 C43

*Based on above car manufacturer specs this will fit the listed cars
HOWEVER, Please measure your stock battery-ground wire
Measure your stock battery-ground wire end to end if unsure

Fully made In USA
2-ott/Double-Zero Gauge, 12mm thick fine-strand 99.9 pure copper wire
Heavy Butyl Rubber casing with anti-moisture inner layer
Tin-coated thick-wall copper terminals, corrosion resistant.
Triple hex-crimped [at each end= 36 maximum contact areas
Weather-protected heat-shrink wrapped connections
BIG 2-ott/double-zero [-2x gauge] fine-strand 99.9 pure copper
vs typical stock grounds: 4 or 2-gauge blended-alloy wire

4-16HP gain due to less Alternator load and increased
ignition spark energy greatly lowered circuits resistance
Noticeable overall improvement of electrical
functions, driveability, roadworthiness

Our KabelMan Uberground works on basic principle
Each powered circuit/part has its own [+] supply line
from batt thru switching; yet all flowing circuits
return through the batt [-] pole/side via 1 lone
wire/line which tends to get coagulated w/ electrical
noise and resistance. By eliminating almost all the
'traffic' getting back around through the main ground cable
better conductivity and efficiency is achieved
BHP gains are by less work for alternator, better spark
signal from minimal resistance, 'noise'.

Increased conductivity= much lowered resistance
through vehicle electrical circuits
provides less alternator load, more ignition spark energy
Alternators consume up to 24 HP while engine running
Starter cranks stronger; better starting moments
Extended life of alternator, battery, starter, coils, relays,
control/computer boxes, other components
Wipers, power windows, lighting, stereo radio, etc. work better
especially on older classic vehicles
Great upgrade to old or new BMW Porsche Mercedes electrical systems

Looks like a pretty decent cable, but why do they have to make wildly optimistic claims about HP? I can't imagine that anyone who owns these old cars would fall for it... either they work on their own car and can see through BS like this, or they have a trusted wrench who will tell them that these claims are bogus.

I wonder if the concept is your old ground cable is going bad and you could be losing hp? Either way, I could make my own ground with marine grade cable for less than $40

There is some benefit to having clean grounds from engine to chassis.
However Flat copper braid that is hot tin dipped from each cylinder head to chassis is the right way to do it.

The ground strap to the chassis and transaxle is OK but not electically great.

Two of these a k&n filter and some Zmax and you can double the horsepower in a stock 1.7. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif)

Oh, I thought he was talking about starter motor HP gain vs. no ground at all. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

I can see some HP gain...with weak connections the alternator certainly will produce a larger load....not sure if it would be as much as claimed...but that is the beauty of advertising...prove him wrong.

So THAT'S been my problem all along !
Noise coagulation!

I know it's an old racer's trick to open the alternator field wire during qualifying or other "all out" effort - but I don't think anybody ever claimed 16HP from _completely_ eliminating alternator load. _1_ HP is ~750W.

You got a 1000A alternator? I don't...

What if you bought two cable? Would you get double?

it can do it cuz it's an "uber" ground cable. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

Few people have ever lost money playing to the ego of a Porsche Owner.



(The loving, adoptive parents of bastard born, half breed 914 Porsche/Volkswagons are of course excluded from such blatant generalizations)
