Which set of ignetion leads?
Guys, which set of ignition leads will you go for for a moderately modded S4 turbo (less than 250 HP)?
I'm looking at Magnecor KV85 (8.5 mm) or R-100 (10 mm). Would R-100 be an overkill? Can I go for a core size larger than is needed?

I am running a S5 that will be Dynoed tomorrow and should be about 275 RWHP. I run the KV85's and they are fine (Don't spend the extra money unless you plan some heafty updates to the ignition.)

From Magnecor's Web Site:
Claims of Horsepower Gain
Magnecor does not claim its Race Wires increase horsepower, and any horsepower gained by the use of Magnecor Race Wires results entirely from the ability of the wires to maintain full conductance and suppress EMI that previously robbed the engine of horsepower.
Every brand of spiral conductor ignition wires will perform the function of conducting coil output to the spark plugs, but NONE, despite the claims made in advertisements and other promotional literature, will increase horsepower. Independent tests, including a test performed by Circle Track Magazine (see May, 1996 issue) in the USA, show that NO "low-resistance" ignition wires for which a horsepower increase is claimed do in fact increase horsepower - the test also included comparisons with solid metal and carbon conductor ignition wires.

That's the nice thing about the Magnecor wires, a new set of the KV85's is only $50. The pricing isn't rediculous like some of the other companies that expect you to pay $150 for four wires.
Well, that, and as quoted in the Turbonut's post, Magnecor doesn't BS about their wires.
