That's what I was thinking. I've heard of using a larger gauge wire from the battery to the alternator and larger wire from the ECU to a grounding plane. But what is this supposed to do?

It provides for a negative drain... ON YOUR WALLET!

I'm surprised they're not boasting a 22 HP gain...

Depending on how you use the ground wires around the engine bay I've seen dyno results netting insome cases 8-10whp (WRX I saw tested did) but they needed more than a few tries at experimenting with a variety of grounding links to produce max HP results and they did say the it really wasn't worth the gain and time put into it unless you were serious about your vehicles HP and needed every bit.
