I posted a pic of the new vs. old spark plug wires in my gallery. I don't think I gained much by changing the plugs, but I think the wires made a huge difference. I knew from previous experience w/the big block in my '73 Buick that more fire to the plugs makes a difference. WOW!
I didn't need the "SOTP" dyno to tell the difference. Instead, the "Spin the Tires like crazy" dyno was immediate and gratifying evidence that I had done something right.
I don't know if the PCM will learn to tune for the new plugs and steal the power back or not, but for now I can say
arty:
Needless to say, I would recommend this process for anyone who wants their car to run like it can and should. If I were to do it again, I would probably try just the wires first, so I could tell what really made the difference. I would be interested to hear from someone who does this, just to confirm or deny my theory. Perhaps someone has already done this, and could let me know what they thought. :cheers
