Pretty sure the coils are super powerful compared to ole distributors. The coils produce more then enough to light the combustion efficently in factory form. Factory coils have been in 2k hp applications. I just don't see wires gaining 20 hp. But I have been wrong before.

Think about the ignition coil as a faucet, the ignition wire as a hose, the hose head as the spark plug, and water is the electricity. No matter how much the faucet flows, if there is a restriction/resistance in the hose, the hose head won’t see as much water.
Now, eliminate the restriction and/or resistance. Water will flow easier and faster through the hose and more of it will get to the hose head.
If your factory ignition wire has a resistance, the spark from the coil pack is not getting to the spark plug. Eliminating that resistance is where the increased horsepower is coming from. There are eight ignition wires which have up to 2000+ Ohms of resistance. Eliminating that resistance gains back the horsepower which would normally be lost.

Just an FYI.. All though I have posted my results being positive (Gaining 20ish rwhp over stock wires on a 418" motor, two different days 2 years apart), I got a chance to run the competitors wires at the track.
The N20 controller that would not come on with the Granatelli's now works just fine.
My Shift noid that would not work, now works just fine again.
I have said they work great NA, but they are noisy and could lead to some EMI issues.

The enemy of performance is restrictions / resistance. When you eliminate resistances and restrictions, you get better performance.

The inherent resistance in the factory ignition wires robs spark energy. When you decrease / eliminate the resistance, more of the spark energy from the coil pack goes to the spark plug. The elimination of the resistance in the wires is where the HP is coming from.

I don't understand your claims either. The spark plug, just starts the chain chemical reactions growing outwards towards the bore. As long as the chain starts should be all that matters. For an example, if you have a long dominoes trail setup, it would not matter if i barely tipped the first dominoe over with my finger, or uppercutted it with the force of chuck norris. As long as it starts the reaction.... we're good.

I went with a set of taylor thundervolt 8.2 wires for my LS4 this week because of the price on amazon. 58 dollars shipped two day with amazon prime, cheaper then what I would have spent on GMPP wires. Their very well made, probably some of the best ive seen, and they all tested at exactly 27.4 ohm's on all 8 wires, which I was surprised by that level of precision. While the ohms of the wire probably doesn't matter in the long run, the quality is what i was going for more then anything and they are fantastic.

What is your response to that article posted above then? It debunks low resistance wires very effectively.... Would like to know if you have some science to counter that science.
It's odd that I can find very little independent testing and results from outside sources as well... If these power gain claims were legitimate I imagine there would be a lot more people hyped up about it and sharing their positive results. Yet all I could find on this forum was one thread in which a guy claimed 5whp/wtq under the curve, with the same peak numbers. Not terrible for the cost but still far from what you claimed.
