2014 C7 Corvette Stingray Ignition Wire Upgrade

Follow along as we baseline our 2014 C7 Corvette Stingray on our dyno and install a set of our "0" OHM ignition wires (28-1545HTRB). After changing the wires, we noticed an average gain of +11.75HP/14.0TQ.

So GM is skimping on plug wires in their $60,000 flagship model to save about $20?

Never really paid much attention to "wire upgrades" but these results are compelling.

Why do the oil change at the same time and not make it a 100% apple to apples comparison? Some oil like redline claim those kinds of hp gains. Im sure they are great wires.

Even if someone in their right mind would pay $200 on a set of wires, that's only the retail per set basis. I'm sure GM purchasing thousands and thousands of these for all their Gen V engines would pay a helluva lot less.

From the website:

Customers have reported up to 15HP (normally aspirated) & 35HP (s/c, turbo, & nitrous). Average gains on an otherwise stock motor are 5hp N/A and 12 to 15 with factory forced induction

The video shows the stock wires are 808 ohms. My OEM ls1 wires are 350 ohm. I guess GM has added resistance. I assume newer cars may see more benefit.

If I got a set of these I'd be more than happy to test them on our C7. The car dyno's very consistant right now. Back to back at the same engine/ intake temps.

Please do, I need to buy plug wires soon. I have just been a little skeptical of the actual results from these wires. If they actually produce hp or mileage gains they would be a no brainer for my dd ls car.
