Has anyone run these so called hot wires yet? they are supposed to be an amaising thing but i havent heard to many people using much in the way of aftermarket wires other then a simple upgrade to msd wires or something

I wouldn't.
I had a 00 Z28 that would run(idle) fine with them. But everytime we put it on the dyno it would crack up on the top end. We couldn't get any rpm data on the dyno.
The car had basic bolt on's.
It was a school car. No tuning, etc.

Put the stock/msd's on and all was well.

Besides the fact that people are making insane amounts of power and are still runnning the stocker/msd wire.

Just my experience. And .02.

i love all the scam accusations...

I've had them for about 5 years and they are great... just to check my coil pack one day I pulled the wire and the power arch coming off the wire was insane. Scared the **** outa me at first it literally was like the video on this link...

I also used the silverstone plugs with no problems... I've since changed to the NGK plugs, but didn't notice any difference...

I think I'm about the only one on here who has these plugs... as everyone else seems to bad mouth them, but they all seem to be jumping on the bandwagon when nobody really has any real world experience...

Unlike LowBird.... my car has ran on the dyno 15-20 times and has had no issues with breaking up or anything like that...

I had a 2001 Camaro V6 A4 its what got me into cars. Had full exhaust, SLP CAI, Ported throttle body, and a tune with 275 tires out back. From a stand still you couldn't break the tires loose, unless it was wet. A buddy of mine gave me his new set of nology wires cause he jumped on a deal for a Vette and didn't need them. From a stand still I could break the tires loose for about 2 seconds, after a custom shift kit and vette servos in the 4L60E, she'd break the tires loose for a couple of seconds and chirp going into second . I was Impressed...ran them with platinum 4's till I traded her in last year at 200K miles.

the secret to the hot wires is the what is similar to a capacitor that is built in to them i had them on my old 4.3 blazer xtreme and when it got totaled out i snatched them off and decided to disect them that also explains why they have to be grounded so that the function properly if not grounded they work the same as a regular plug wire
