Default Granatelli plug wires any good?

Granatelli plug wires?
I was looking through the new GMHTP and saw an add for Granatelli plug wires that are supposed to be awesome... Here is the info for them from the site...

•Direct OEM replacement, exceeds OEM specifications, OBD-II computer safe (See application guide for over 600 fitments)
•Increase power to the spark plug up to 400% over stock
•Adds up to 15HP (normally aspirated) & 35HP (s/c, turbo, & nitrous)
•0 Ohm resistance, no RFI / EMI interference thanks to patented protector ring
•Patented design works with all fuel injection systems, street cars and race cars
•Solid stainless connector cable with stainless snap lock spark plug connectors
•High temperature silicone boots, 8MM jacket with fiberglass-reinforced braid resists temperatures up to 500 degrees f (1200 degree f. boots optional).

Does anyone have them or know anything about them? Are they any good, or are they like the GMS MAF

Get some cheaper taylors or msds or even the stock ones are good. IMHO, no way is a plug wire going to give you 15 hp.

I have Taylor Thundervolts but the idea of the ss cable seems kind of interesting... along with this magazine article.

OEM or MSD are the only ones I'd put on. I run the LS2's and they are awesome, have a 90* bend on the end. I've read WAY too many stories about people ripping the boots off of their Taylors, so I'll steer clear of them. I had a set of MSD's that worked great untill they got burnt (exhaust pipes got too hot before cam was tuned).

I was trying to track down a missfire, so I replaced them, but they were never the problem.

Now someone can post about how much they like their Taylors.


The Granatelli's may be great, but they aren't proven like some other options out there.

15hp from wires, i dont see how thats possible but anywho, i would stick with oem, there cheap and if you ask everyone, no one can tell a difference between them and msd's or taylors...save that 75-100 and spend it on something else proven for better power...
