This raises the obvious question; What did you do to solve the problem?

On a side note, I love it when switching on the power amp for my stereo dims the lights in the house!

Looks like he installed a grounding kit. Not a bad idea with just the one wimpy ground going from the batt to the rad support on these cars.

Thumbs up my solution

I've installed a complete grounding kit..
HyperGrounds battery mr system and the original cables the company made when they first started.

I still use the factory ground straps along side the system..
*Trick for no corrosion use battery grease when your done with the install so that you dont have to worry about the ground point building corrosion.

After installing just the battery ground my throttle response is greatly improved and my lights never dimmed...

Any1 with electrical issues? waiting for those
