OP BrandonSVT99 CEG\'er B Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 246 Delaware	I was looking into buy a ground wire kit,because i'm replacing my spark plugs and wires anyways, so i figured i would go ahead and try this "mod" out. I had a misfire on cylinder 1 thus the reason why i'm changing the sparkplugs/wires.Do you think this "mod" is worth the money?I wasn't sure myself so thats why i ask if anybody else has done it and felt a diff. in performance. I've already searched and it came back with 2 results.They weren't very helpful! 99 SVT/silver frost....with "some" mods SVT FLYWHEEL 4 SALE!!! PM me

Holy cow, that's some crazy spanglish you got there. The Contour does not need a grounding strap because the spark ground itself right back to the coil. The spark never leaves the block, wires, or coil pack. If there was an actual ground that the sparks relied on through the frame, then I would say it might help. Spark goes in one plug, and out the other back to the coil. Wasted spark system. -Auto Makor- -Experimentor -Station Wagonor- -Computerizor- I have a foot that is bigger than a foot.
