I have dynoed a lot of engines in my life and the only ones I ever made a big
power increase is when I put them on the right plugs after trying my "modified
firing order"  LOL
I have tested wires on the dyno everywhere from 19.95 Napa wires to the mega 
buck
wires all you buy is a little resistance to heat and that is about it.on 650 hp
they were all between 3 or 4 hp..and that is the accuracy of the dyno at best +-
0.5%.  I don't care what they advertise when you buy a dyno that is about it.
I am going to print a copy of the article on this site about plug wires, I wish 
I
could only get half of my customers to believe it!
