I have Magnecor wires. Although they do the job, they dont sit properly on the valve cover , they leave a lil space.



I recommend NGK Blue wires.

i can't read, but i can understand a dyno graph. the ngk's make make more power everywhere except peak, plain and simple.

they also have the best fit. notice they said they had to zip tie the msd's. I'll pass on that

NGK hands down. Why does this even come up anymore?
