seems like there has to be some advantages to swapping to certain aftermarket plugs. What abaout Granatelli (?), with such a low ohm resistance it seems like more effeciency is certain, even if it is just the slightest difference. better ignition meens better efficiency unless you have bad plugs, packs, or timing off.

Yeah I'm aware that there is no horsepower difference just like the way they would look giving the engine a more aggressive look with those thick wires
