worth reading about how ignition wires should be evaluated:

In my own personal experience, measuring with a Fluke 87 meter the resistance of 'nonresistor' sparkplugs for the Magnum Engines Sparkplug FAQ I often was surprised to see thousands of ohms of resistance.

 

boy that was a pain to read. The only thing i got out of that is that low resistance wires reduces the strain on your ignition coils.

 

lol well dur [8D]

 

Well if you figure that plug wires will be ~16 inches, and if they're coming up 320-400 ohms, that's ballpark 25 ohms per inch. I was wondering if the advertised resistance was read incorrectly.

And no, I don't buy performance wires. I buy decent quality wires though. I also don't buy Monster (tm) wire for my speakers. Again, I buy decent quality, but I shy away from the over-priced name brand stuff like that.

Ever chucked a truck on the dyno, run a set of "performance" wires, then swap some off-the-shelf box set? Get a huge gain?

 

kinda the same deal as cai and go fast stickers...oh dont forget 3" exhaust on a 6 banger adn so on

 

hey, dont diss the go fast stickers

but ya, I usually but the good stuff, not the overpriced stuff.

 

haha why? rembred somthin else, 55watt off road lights and neon k im done

 

I've got 130 watt off road lights and only an Edelbrock exhaust systems (headers) sticker.

If CAIs add 4-8 hp then it's a definite improvement, and most allow for increased airflow when the rest of the engine/intake/exhaust is modified. Engines are just air pumps and if you want to move more air you need to open the intake, exhaust, and make the pump itself more eficient. >shrug<

 

sweet!

 

I thought go fast stickers added 2 hp? Either way, I've got my truck protected by an Anti-Theft sticker!!
