It kind of cracks me up that wire manufacturers tout ultra low resistance wires and we connect them to resistor plugs.
Some do, some dont...but does it really matter ?

If these low resistance wires were the best thing ever....almost no OEM wires are like that ? And they do tend to know what they're doing and after lots of testing.

So is low...medium...high better ? How much does it matter for various setups ?

I've just some cheap crap wires on my car after I changed to IGN1A's, think they're around 5k at the length I'm using.

I had Firecore's before with the 514 coils, and they were very low resistance. Cant say good or bad about either setup as both were faultless really.

Go read on magnecore if you want to know the truth on ignition wires

"the truth" Took me a minute to find it. Good to know, but $22 Autozone wires have been doing me right for years now at moderate power levels.

I stopped reading when they started pimping their own stuff which discredits the article for me. Theres also several errors in their theory. I could start drawing pictures but nobody would believe me anyways so... I refuse to pull a king talon

Whos the vendor, granatelli or something who proved back to back dyno pulls a HP gain with their low resistance wires.

You mean you're not going to give us a dissertation on the origin of spark plugs, along with the molecular structure of the material used to construct them?

bingo haha. I hate when people wax theoretical. I deal with EMI and lightning/surge events on a regular basis due to the industry I'm in, but a) nobody cares and b) I'm not dumb enough to start drawing pictures from my phone.
