Point well made Scott!  I am sick of all these companies advertising thier
spark plug wires will "Give you a 15% increase in power" or whatever else
false claims.  It is totall BS!

Better spark plug wires will give you a more powerfull spark and more
complete combustion....that's it!  Plain and simple.  This is what Magnacore
clearly states and they often attack other spark plug companies (not to
mention any names...Nology) for making such claims.  They clearly state,
they WILL NOT give you more horsepower.  I like that!  :)

To make a point.... I was browising around the engine bay of the Audi 200
Trans Am race car at Monterey and I noticed they are running STOCK Bosch
spark plug wires, and STOCK Bosch Silver spark plugs.  If they really made a
difference, don't you think AudiSport would have used it????  If it works in
that 520bhp race car, I think the stock stuff will work fine in my daily
driver.
