A few people have emailed me regarding the SC400 application.

Unfortunately, the custom kit I made for LexAnt was awhile ago and the measurements we came up with were stored in my email which I lost when I upgraded my computer. There's hope though...we figured it out the first time and I'm sure we can again. At any rate, I'm willing to work with one person first, and keep trying till we get it to fit perfect.

I'll reply to the emails that were sent.



As a side note crimping the ends may look like a DIY project, but I would recommend against it unless you have a industrial strength crimper. Crimping 4 gauge is not quite the same as crimping 16 gauge terminals. We do go beyond just crimping though.

Hey guys, It seems like Paul pulled together a Grounding Kit for our SC 400's, I just wanted to let you guys know because I knew a few of you guys were interested. I already ordered mine and I will let you guys know how it performs as soon as I get it.

Hey guys,

I was the one that helped Paul with the measurements to put this together for the SC4. Here are the pics of the connections. His kit isn't just crimped. It's professionally soldered AND crimped and all of the materials used are top notch. Hope this helps.

Hey Jeremy What’s up,
I just had a few questions for you, my kit is on its way but I wanted to know what kind of improvements you felt after the install, and how well do you think the kit is working.
Thanks for your time

Tommy

Hey Tommy,

I definitely noticed an improvement once I installed the kit. Better throttle, seems to idle smoother as well as no more dimming dash when I use the turn signal or step on the brakes. IMO it's definitely worth it to do. Let me know what you think once you get it in.

Jeremy
