Spark plug wires

Has anyone gone down the rabbit hole of finding the least resistant spark plug wires?
I tested mine and I came up with the following.
T2- 12" long - . 368 ohms
T1 - 11" long - . 325 ohms
L1 - 14" long - . 400 ohms
L2 - 12" long - . 364 ohms.

From what I understand, these readings can be improved on. Meaning a lower resistance can be achieved with different spark plug wires. What wires are are people using nowadays for performance?

you want these https://www.rhdjapan.com/revolution-...d3s-kouki.html

the shielding and ground system lets them run really low resistance wires

spark plug wires have resistance to cut RFI, Radio Frequency Interference, but it also takes some power from what could be used to fire the plug.

the Revolution (and i think FEED) wires have a shield on them, so then this lets you run lower resistance wires.
the Revolution wires go a step further and it has a grounding kit built into it. so it grounds the intake, ignitor, plug wires and something else (it says knock sensor, but i think its not translated right)
directly to the battery.

you could make something that did this, its just a lot of work
