Default whats the point?


whats the point of getting diff spark plug wires? i read a thread where some guy had some issues with spark, changed his wires to msd ones and they fixed them, so im wondering what brand/why the need to go with diff wires for boost? i heard something about having lower resistance or something?

for most people stock OEM wires are fine, unless they have been damaged. I don't believe in magic wires

i mean...i would say its just a step above....oem parts sometimes can be skimped on quality....a la the aftermarket....not everything in the aftermarket is just to be for modifications....im very comfortable running these wires...ive heard good things

OEM is not NGK, they are Sumitomo. NGK plugs are OEM, they do not mfr OEM wires.

I would run OEM wires or NGK blues. Ive run NGK blues for a while and theyve never given me any fitment or performance issues.

i was missfiring on the dyno with my chopped up ngk wires. so i switched to brand new oem wires and it cured the missfire issue.
