Default Spark Plug Wire Price

Is the performance improvement great enough to have the wires cost $110? Other then better spark and im guessing less detonation, what else will it improve?

Check out www.nology.com or www.magnecor.com. I was doing some read ups on them tonight. Il ike the NOLOGY ones but they are $171.66, the demo they had at toysport looked cool though, the sprark was WAY bigger with the NOLOGY. I think I will get some...

So what would you guys recommend? I was checking out KORE-Motorsports.com, not bad lookin'. But I'm not only looking for looks, I want some performance strapped in there too, on NOLOGY's they say it increases Top Speed, is that possible?

Well, what other mods do you have?

If you are running naturally aspirated with just a couple bolt on mods such as an intake and exhaust then getting aftermarket wires will primarily just be for looks. You also may not like the looks since you will not be able to bolt the plate that covers the wires back on due to the thickness of the performance wires.

The $100+ may be better spent somewhere else depending on what you already have.

Already have CAI and full exhaust work. Planning on doing a lot of work, over the summer, I am planning on getting the Ballistics Turbo Kit Stage2, however I'm kinda rethinking it cause I have to think what's more important, my Warranty or power?

As if right now, you will bennifit very little if at all performance wise by adding performance wires.

If you ar not sure about the whole turbo idea then go n/a. The money may be better applied to something like a cams. Also if you have not done your suspension work yet, I would consider that. You will shave more time off you 1/4 with a properly tuned suspension then with wires. Although it will cost a little more.

Of course if it is just time to replace them anyways then go for it but I would wait til they need replacing.
