I've been reading up on them and voltage stabilizers slightly increase hp and torque, smooth out idle speed, among other things and they seem to work.
I'm looking at 2 brands: Sun Auto and Buddy Club. From the tests, Sun Auto has the highest hp/torque increase (like 1.5... lol), But you don't really see very much through the powerband. However with the Buddy Club, it showed an increase in power, although not as much as the Sun Auto, but it actually increased lower end hp and torque by a very decent amount. I'm almost certain that they're universal, but I may be wrong. I was wondering if any of you knowledgable guys would have any opinions or answers.

I'm curious if you went with the sun auto and just added beefier grounds at all the stock locations and maybe a few others? I am not sure, but I'm assuming all the extra wires on the buddy club are just better grounds for the system. Why not take that idea from buddy club and mix it with the sun auto. Might be able to sneak away with the benefits of both? A little more hp at the bottom of the curve and that pony or two and torque at the top end?

Hmm.... interesting idea... it makes sense that that could contribute to it. The section above mentions that the buddy club one has extra grounds. We also know that better grounds throughout make a few hp here and there if your current grounds are not adequate. So it makes sense that the grounds gave a few of those gains. Therefore the Sun auto with a set of better grounds in the car might be the best option. |
