eliminates static friction
allows quicker transfer of electricity and smoother transfer of info for ecm to operate efficiently
removes stray ions so the terminals dont corrode. (keep bat top clean and they wont turn into a chia pet)


honestly some ppl go way too far. all you need is a ground from the block to the firewall (some say on the ecm itself but i'd go directly to wall), from block to battery, and from battery to firewall or fender....just a triangle.

also, a lot of ppl are getting this huge 0g wire, not necessary. you can get a ground strap from autozon for about 99c. you can also use that same strap on the bat. it doesnt look good, but you can wrap it and hide it with colored elec tape or whatever
