I didn't mean to suggest that anyone should actually do that.

While it's true that, say, 300 ohms/foot is better than 2k/foot, that's the difference between copper or stainless or some alloy wire and carbon conductor. This doesn't mean that 50 ohms/foot is necessarily better than 300 ohms/foot. What matters is the effective impedance at those higher frequencies that are prevalent in the ignition system, not the pure resistance.

We're talking about nothing more significant than spark plug wires here, so run what ya like and be happy with them until for some reason you don't like them any more. As long as you're liking them, your choice is every bit as good as mine. And vice versa.

Transmission line effects? It's all just a conspiracy.
