Umm.... can someone please explain

Improved throttle response
Increases torque in both low and medium power bands.

How, what, where, and why?

I don't know of any way that could possibly make that much difference. Definitely not enough to be noticeable.

to quote a website :

Everything involving your car's electrical system - from nice, fat sparks in your ignition system to nice, fat bass in your subwoofers - requires a free flow of electrons to and from the battery. Good electrical performance requires a grounding system that's prepared to take a lot of current with minimal resistance. Your spark plugs, lights, fans, stereo, air conditioner, cigarette lighter, and so on all benefit from an elaborate electrical network that includes fuses, relays, and high-quality electrical cabling. They all share a common ground, however, and all too often a stock (there's that word again!) grounding system consists of just a couple of skinny braided cables that connect the chassis and engine to your battery's negative terminal. As these sorry connections rust out or come loose over time, the amount of conductive material decreases. This leads to resistance, as your car's electricity is forced to travel over less material. It's not unlike traffic: four lanes definitely accommodate more traffic than two. As your grounding wires deteriorate, resistance increases and all your electrical devices have to work that much harder to overcome that resistance.

When you replace your stock grounding wires with the SCO grounding cables, don't be surprised if you notice increased torque, better gas mileage, quicker throttle response, more starting power, a smoother idle, and better sound from your stereo.

Sounds like your quoted website is trying to sell something... just trying to work out what it is...

If you want "nice, fat bass in your subwoofers" you can already kiss goodbye any perceived performance gains obtained by fitting a new ground cable. Subs = weight = lower power / weight ratio. Not rocket science.

it's selling the same grounding kit as the one on ebay, obviously not the exact same product but their own grounding kit. and they are explaining what the benefits of the grounding kit (generally) are.

I have one of these coupled with voltage stabilizer seems to make small difference with stereo and lights little brighter but cant say have noticed any direct performance gains
