Yeah, it's hard to convince people that there is no magic-- especially when
they just plunked down big $$$ for the latest snake oil product.

Subject: Plug wires
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!
