So... who want's to help me out today?!
Ok... here's what I'm thinking... my Fiero owning friend is talking about putting new spark plugs and such in his car... and I was thinking... hmm... I want some more color under the hood lol.
So I was thinking about upgrading my spark plug wires. First off, what gain will I get from them, and second off, what brands do you all prefer and what size. Thanks! |

I like my MSD wires and they are red and like Brent said unless your wires were crappy there will be no gain Only ricers gain about 20 -30 HP from a wire change
MUHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHA
