Spark plug wires are over rated. Get a good quality set that you don't have to worry about breaking or deteriorating quickly and you won't have to worry about anything.
As said before, the resistance in the wires are so small compared the the space that the spark has to jump at the spark plug that the wire resistance can become negligible.
As for the Solid core Granatelli here is an excerpt from Magnacore.com
"SOLID CORE CONDUCTOR WIRES
Solid metal (copper, tin-plated copper and/or stainless steel) conductor wires are still used in racing on carbureted engines, but can cause all sorts of running problems if used on vehicles with electronic ignition, fuel injection and engine management systems, particularly if vehicle is driven on the street — and damage to some original equipment and modern aftermarket electronic ignition and engine management systems can occur. Solid metal conductor wires cannot be suppressed to overcome EMI or RFI without the addition of current-reducing resistors at both ends of wires."
I usually find that the "power increase" from changing plugs and wires is not that the components used to replace the old ones are better, but that they are not old and worn and will therefore operate at 100%.
