Granatelli wires Whats the deal with Granatelli spark plug wires??? Less than an ohm or 1 ohm of resistance per wire.... and 166 bucks come on,, most wire sets for my LS1 run about 60 bucks...I have a copy of Chevy High Performance sep 05.. they install a set of these wires on a 5.3L short wheel base...they say 15.3 hp improvement and 17.3 lb-ft of torq.. Yet, i cant find 1 person that runs them... whats going on here?????

And you will not gain that in rwhp. That was probably an engine dyno on a heavily modded motor.

from what I was told, the less ohm resistance, the hotter the spark. just like when people go to hotter plugs for performance, something about causing a combustion faster, hense more precise and the combustion pushes the crank exactly when it's designed to.
think of it as pushing a ball. you can use 3 seconds of energy to push it slowly, and it'll move. now take the exact same amount of energy and use it within 1 second. faster pound, ball goes farther.
Granatelli's wires have a very thin stainless steel core wrapped in fiberglass. this prevents almost any of the electricity in the plug to dispurse from it. So there it is; efficientcy of power, hotter spark, faster combustion, more HP.

Your physics experiment is a little off-base. Conservation of energy would put the ***** at the same stopping place given equal amounts of energy applied to each.

You can read all about it on NGK's website.

I agree with this statement. For every force, there is an equal and opposite force. Hence, if you use the same amout of force for each ball, they will travel equal distances. Time is irrelevant.

With the same force over a shorter time, you'll tranfer less energy.

Although this doesn't help us directly, I'm lookin to help ya out. But I can't because I just posted non-sponsor information.
