anybody running these on thier FC? supposedly the most powerful Wires on the market. so i just wanted to get some feedbak on how they perform. Thanks

My friend has them on his 86 n/a and that thing never misses.

I am runing them. They are nice wires good quality. I am only pushing around 240hp. So far they work great I dont see any improvments though. Perhaps on a dyno I would or with a wide band. But for the most part they are just getting the job done.

ok and where are u supposed to hook up the ground wires to? if u kno

iceblue

Any ground you want. "bare metal"

I suggest not using these , I can't remember who but one of the top dog rx-7 companies says that these have actually been proven to reduce hp on a rotary engine.

Those wires are a load of BS. There is no such thing as power gained from wires, especially those ones. Read this, particularly the bit about capacitor effect wires:

Yes I know it's from a competitor, but physics is physics.

Boy, it makes you wonder...

I've seen it with my own eyes.
Back-to-back-to-back testing with Nology versus NGK on an FD making about 400hp at the wheels on a DynoJet.
The Nology wires LOST 5hp over the NGK's.

DOH

Yep, I have seen that myself (not a 400HP one- but I have seen it at 150 hP cars), but its nice to get some additional proof.

Thats why I never stated gains or real improvments. Just that they look and feel well built and car runs fine with them.

Now I have to ask being its a thicker wire needing more curent. How would the perform with a ignition stabalizer box. Like some MSD-6A

YearsOfDecay

WTF....
My buddy had some expensive taylor wires on his car and it just seemed doggy.. We slapped a pair of stock wires on it and it idled better and seeme to have better throttle response..

I have MSD superconductors and.... I don't see a damn bit of difference...

the MSD 6a.. doesn't seem to do anything either.... (well, there was a bit of difference on the wideband during datalogging.. but it was slight...

and how do the 10.6mm (i think?) wires perofrm? i forgot who made them but i remember seeing them up for sale

NZConvertible

Thicker wires almost always have thicker insulation, not a thicker conductor. They handle heat better, they don't perform any better. You don't need 10mm wires on a street car; compared to 8mm wires they're a waste of money and a pain to install.

RETed

They have been known to kill coils.
Maybe that will convince you it's garbage?

Actually, you don't.
If you start to cut apart brands of spark plug wires, the actual conductor is pretty small.
THICK DIAMETER INSULATION has been a very good marketing ploy for spark plug wire manufacturers - bigger is better, right?
No.
Thicker spark plug wires just have better resistance to arcing (through the conductor).
