I've been looking for some good plug wires myself. What would you recommend and where can I find them?

I got mine from Summit Racing for $52.99. I was also looking at the MSD ones for $44.99, but you have to assemble them yourself. The Crane wires are also half the resistance of the MSD wires.

Yeah I'd go with the pre-assembled ones myself but I'll check that out thanks. BTW I ordered some MSD 8.5 MM superconductors a while back for the 03 Neon. Mine is an 05 and two of them didn't reach the plug wire holes because the wires wern't long enough. So I'm selling those for 40 bucks if anyone is interested.

As low as MSD is compared to stock 1/2 the resistance of less than 1/10 means not much.

many good performance choices from Summit, Modern Performance, or who ever.

MSD, Crane, Magnecore or whoever.

Not much of a difference when comparing stock to MSD and Crane, but it's still just a bit better. Doesn't really make much difference at that point like you said. MSD is 50 ohms per foot and the Crane wires are 25.

I've heard some really bad things about those coil packs, but hopefully it was just some unlucky people.

let me know how those wires affect your mpg. i'm always curious

No matter what I do to my car that could possibly increase MPG...I still have a lead foot

I'm planning on taking the Neon to the speedway tomorrow to get a bone stock 1/4 mile run in. Gotta have a baseline to start from. I'll probably take it back down not too long after I get the ignition upgrades in.
