Results like this are subjective...they really can't be measured. The power increase (if any) would be minimal and probably unmeasurable on any dyno. Fuel mileage changes with every tank based on city driving vs. highway driving so how could you compare one tank to the next.

Please don't misinterpret what I posted...I have not compared 10 different wires and determined that Magnecor is the best plug wire...I posted my "perceived" results(as in NOT measured by a dyno), so take it with a grain of salt.

IMO, no plug wire on earth will measurably increase your horsepower or torque output...unless of course your current spark plug wires are faulty, in which case you are simply restoring the lost power.

As you have said, they are all pretty much the same, so I bought the ones that I felt were made well and had a reasonable price. I am continuing to buy them because they work for me...that's all.
