OEM sumitumo wires own all. (well, mostly)

somewhere on m24x.zeroforum.com , someone pulled a dyno with
8 year old, yes 8 year old OEM plug wires making more power than fairly new (if not new) ngk's.

i believe everything else is just for show.

Go oem.

MSD is such crap. They (wires) don't fit properly on their own dizzy cap. And the blaster coil is an absolut POS and is un-neccesary unless you car is bOOsted
