Oh, and don't worry about trying to answer these individuals who have asked all the EE101 questions, they've already make up their minds on what they'll use regardless of the facts.
For everyone else -
V = I x R Ohm's Law (Voltage = Current x Resistance)
Power (Watts) = Amperage x Voltage (number of electrons x the strength of force)
Resistance (R) is measured in Ohms
Current (I) in Amps
Voltage (V) in Volts
Coils multiply voltage at the expense of amperage; so, you can't just magically increase both amperage AND voltage at the same time. But, as seen below, resistance is a BIG factor w/ respect to current (I) in this relationship of three.
Current flow (I) @ 100,000 Volts (typical HEI output) and 351 Ohms (stock wire resistance) = 267 Amps
but -
Current flow (I) @ 100,000 Volts (typical HEI output) and 0.1 Ohms (best aftermarket wire resistance) = 1 MILLION Amps!
Think about it! Do the math. Don't just react.
"But, MSDs rock!"
Well, children, yes they do "rock" they just don't rock better than everyone else. They are better than stock (1397 vs. 267), roughly 5 times better; but the Granatelli's are 716 TIMES better than the MSDs!
71,600 percent! That's figgin' huge!
Additionally, the Granatelli's are 3745 TIMES better than stock; that's 374,500 percent better!!
Ohm's Law is your friend.

The coil voltage is about 40KV and the current is a
lot less than 1A;
267 A would kill you (if you got zapped) and 1 million A would melt your coils, spark plugs and engine block;
sure, Ohm's Law is true and may apply, but it's not a DC circuit nor is it a steady-state AC circuit, and the coil has inductance, and electric arcs are not governed by Ohm's Law, so Ohm's Law is only a part of the whole;
While I'm not disagreeing with you, if a wire was 3745 times better, wouldn't you feel the difference...?
I don't think wires can be compared based on resistance alone.
