When one states "better" YOU should ask "better in what way" ?
The TRUTH was known by Tesla OVER 100 years ago.
A LOW resistance wire WILL reduce ARC Duration which IS a VERY BAD thing to do for best ignition in an IC engine.
Those here that understand OHM's Law will agree.
Those here who would like this to be explained : Think that higher resistance limits current flow, thus the current discharge into the cylinder WOULD occur for a longer time, much better for cylinder ignition.
The same amount of electrons ARE released by the coil, just over a more correct time of number in degrees of crankshaft rotation.

Also 100 years ago they said we couldn't make it to the moon.
The times have change and having the least resistance is a good thing. Now it helps gain Hp,TQ and MPG
Well my experience with your coils was 6 out of 8 fell apart after 20 min and i was told it was due to "user error" and that i needed to dielectric grease on the connection from the coil to the wire so that when you disconnected them it doesnt pull the pin out of the coil. Bought replacements, used grease, same result. Bought factory replacements, much happier now

please PM me your name and i will do some feather looking in to this. I have installed over 100 sets of granatelli coils on customer cars have had no problem. I also have a set on my racecar and i take the wires off to rebuild engine every 4 races never had that problem. I'm sorry for the inconveniences
Thought you guys would find this an interesting read. Our friends at Lateral-G were building a 600HP LS3 for their '66 Chevelle. When it came down to picking the ignition parts to use, they went with our 85K Malevolent Series ignition coils and our high temp ignition wires. The build is very thorough and contains a lot of info on the parts used. Of course when you're trying to attain high horsepower numbers, every part counts... which is a testament on how well our ignition parts work and their benefit.
^^ Seems like if those fella's did all their homework to find all the power they could get, they would have done something different with the Air Filter instead of planting it directly behind the Radiator.
