TBH there is no real point using that earthing kit
People mainly only upgrade their grounds if they are running high comp sound systems or something that requires alot of current
You could always add a 0ga ground wire from the negative terminal to the chassy
Doesnt do much but gets rid of some engine noise or alternator whine
But if you are wanting to upgrade your grounds then search for the bif three
After this will make your electrical system more efficent as you upgrade the current cables aswell

The truth is what you believe, but I have found some sensors in the magna that are one wire in, so the earth is critical.
I have upgraded a few earths based on intermittent errors on the magna, they have been resolved. So I am a Believer, :rushes off to join a cult:
