Is this product worth it?

http://www.optauto.com/webstore/prod...tion=&back=yes

came upon this and thought it was interesting. haven't heard of anybody doing a mod of this nature before and was wondering if anybody has anything to say as to the validity (sp) of this company's claims. Dont have 118 dollars to drop on somthing like this right now but if i did would it be worth it? would it help my battery's health and other electric components, also specifically I'm currious as to how this could affect torque? thanks for any info at all.

let me tell you a little story....
i went to a friends stereo shop and he gave me 8 foot of 2 gauge amp power wire and i bought some ring terminals and a battery stem connector thingy... first i replaced the ground wire on the car and stopped, cause i wasnt about to waste a day trying to finish this up and cut it all w/ a little pair of needlenose pliers. i go to home depot to get some larger wire cutters, and low and behold the butt-dyno feels a difference. and that was from only the one wire- so im super excited, and i rush back home to ground some more parts. no more gains. but the one wire was enough to make a difference- like enough that my g/f noticed. so the moral of the story? DIY!!!!!!! dont buy into the hype - hell, even if it was magic hp and tq, i felt like it did something for my car, whether it did or not. but above all, DO NOT waste 100+bucks for this.

I'm looking into doing a "copy" of that product, similar to what celticbass did but not just the ground wire. I'm primarily interested in getting better wiring because of my soon to be installed sound sys but HP gains are always welcome .
