Default Ignition wire thread
I remember a thread waaaay back when a guy did a resistance test on about 10 sets of ignition wires. I think MSD came in 2nd with Taylor wires in first of .01 resistance??? I can't remember. Anyone know which tested with the least amount of resistance and possibly a link to the thread?

Nology??? Hmmm never heard of them. I wonder what the resistance is.

Did you notice any gains or better fuel efficiency after the install? Are they 8mm?

Nology hotwires are yet another ripoff ricer gimmick. They use a little capacitor on each wire which is supposed to increase spark. They cost damn near the same price as a friggin LS6 intake.

Yeah I'm sorry but the $70 I paid for my MSD's is a little high in my book. No way in hell I would ever spend $300 on spark plug wires.

Your not going to notice a bit of difference. The MSD's will likely last 10 years.

Yeah right and they claim up to 25hp w/ their MAF that also does nothing.

I never had an issue with my Thundervolts, are you talking about another wire? I'm buying some today from TR since they're on sale.
