You will see no improvement at all. Stockers usually suffice. Aftermakret ones are good when you need every bit of spark with an ignition box, timing module, or are running boost/spray. I only went with a set of MSD wires because the stockers had to much radio interferance.

The gains per money spent doesn't exactly justify it, at least, not to me.

A good brand of 8mm wires works alright on a street driven car. Why pay for something you don't need or do you just brag alot about what you have. I wouldn't be impressed if you told me "I am using these 10.4 mm Taylor wires, what do you use??".

I's be impressed if you were running those 10mm wires.

I'd be impresed that you could find ANY wire looms or wire holders that will work with them.

I'd be inpressed that you went to all that trouble for absolutely nothing.

The only thing a sparkplug wire can do is allow the electrons to run through it and jump the spark plug gap without any 'leaking' off to close proximity metal objects.

8mm wires do all that magnificantly.
