Plug wire replacement help - Magnecor?

[jszuba]

Hi!
I just checked my stock OEM wires and they produce a 12.4 kOhm resistance...
Does this mean I should replace them? I know that stock wires should be between 8-12 kOhms, but I read on TOV that anything below 25 kOhms is good.
I know a lot of you say that NGK wires are best, but I also read that the Magnecor 8.5mm gives a resistance of 3 - 5 kOhms...
What do you think... replace with Magnecor?

I have two friends that got mag wires, they pop off the dist cap. Ill stick with ngk wires

blue NGK wires all day long

ngk, its from the facotry, it works.

[jszuba]

So not even the lower resistance as tested by Temple Of Vtec justifies anything else than NGK?
I am really curious because I just literally now got into the topic of wires etc and want to know and learn...
Facts, figures and your experience mostly would be sweet.

unless your pushing 300+ hp, the oem wires are fine.

NGK & Sumitomo (Honda Factory) hands down.

well i am not shure if its any good but i run magstar wires from the zone and the are 8.5mm and i think they work

[jszuba]

So now I'm torn
I can clearly see that NGK, Sumimoto are the most recommended, but I also thought that if you can replace a part with one that's better performing (which supposedly magnecor should be looking at the numbers), then that is the way to go even if not pushing more hp.

true, but for me personally i cant justify spending extra money to see no noticable gains.

kind of like if it aint broke dont fix it

fuck, i got 300ohms of resistance from my msd's. i couldnt believe it.

[DImages56]

i have had magnecores and ngks.....i really liked the magnecores but ngks are not to far behind. for the cost benefit ratio i would get ngks.

[jszuba]

I got NGKs in the end.
Still those Magnecors look sweet with 3-5kOhm resistance...
