This seems counter productive to me. The shorter the plug wires the better.

Diminished ignition power in exchange for a pretty bracket. Why bother?
"We have found through extensive testing that approximately 100mJ provides sufficient energy for most racing applications and if the ignition coil is directly mounted on top of the spark plug (such as in some current production cars) then as little as 50mJ will suffice. "

Performance difference is negligible. There are tons of applications with wires much longer than this. And from personal experience, I can't see any difference. If you're that worried about loss, use a lower resistance wire.

Heh...took me a while to type that up...I started before you posted...
But it does look interesting. Though, we've seen potentially good, affordable CDI ignition systems before...look what happened with that...

Additionally from page 3: "It is recommended that coil wires should not exceed 1 metre in length." The stock FD wires are about 12-18" in length. The TII wires are about 24-28" in length, which from my understanding can be used with the relocated coils. Well below the recommended maximum length.
Stock FD coils have been proven reliable to well beyond 450rwhp. With suitably sized ignition wires, relocating the coils will increase reliability by keeping the coils cooler and should provide for minimal, if any, reduction in performance.

yeah my main reason is heat and it gives me more room for the injector drivers. on my old race car we actually dynoed the car using diferent length wire to settle the same question and it made not difference power wise and we saw no evidence of ignition break up in the graph. so i think it will be fine.
