Let me first make an anology; headlights and light output (a bit of a sore sport with us f-car owners). With high resistance wires (i.e. - wires with a small cross-sectional area) between the battery and headlamps, the power that could be used to produce light is instead used to heat the wire. The result is dim headlights lights and brittle wires.

This is the same thing that happens with high resistance spark plug wires; the power that could be used to jump the air gap is instead used to travel thru the wire. The energy used to go from the begining of the wire to the end of the wire is "wasted", components are heated, and the effective spark is reduced from what is could be.

So, to address your intake / TB question, it's not quite like that. ANY SP wire resistance is bad, you cannot buy / install / use a SP wire whose resistance is too low and therefore "oversized" for your application.

"Wider is better" and "Lower (resistance) is always better"

Got it? Good!

MLE
Which in turn equals zero hp gain which would be the point of installing them anyway. An upgrade.

Just paint the stockers whichever color you want.
