Better wires really isn't a bad plan. 8mm or better. You may not notice the engine runs any stronger, but, you are less likely to suffer from 'cross talk' from the plug wires, and firing the wrong cylinder at the wrong time. There was a technical service bulletin about plug wire routing on these with the stock wires, simply because of that particular little problem.

That, and I want as much of the energy to get to the plug as I can get.
