Default Quick Question on Super Conductor wires

So I hear there really good accept that they fall off the distributor What do you use to zip tie them? Also are there any other wires that perform and DONT fall off the distributor besides stock and ngk?

stock ones. resistance of autozone wires was only like 5000 to 6000 ohms for the short wire, like 14k or 16k for the longest one. something like that. well below maximum spec.

msd superconductors only fall off because you guys are not using the whole msd system...if you use the msd cap with the wires...they stay on tight as f--k.

stock is best for you. they don't fall off, they're cheaper, and they work great. a tiny bit more spark energy is all you'll get from NGK or others. unless you have turbo and high boost, you won't be able to tell the difference. in fact, i'd bet $1 you can't prove a hp gain from spark wires. i mean repeatable w/ same ambient conditions.

so you replaced your old beat-up stock wires with performance wires one time. ever try replacing your old, beat-up stock wires with stock wires? i just replaced mine after 35k miles, and it smoothed out the power significantly.

I have some new wires on it now and I still want some super conductors... But I think Im gonna buy an msd cap to allow the msd supers to seat properly...

if you say so. i'll believe the MSD cap/coil setup might yeild a hp or two on a lightly modded car; of course, if you have turbo, all sorts of ignition things will help you out. then there's the 6A, which is probably what you should do if you're worrying so much about spark power.
