    Im doing a tune up and want to go from 7mm wires to 10mm wires. where do i get them from and what kind should i use?
    I got the wires, and those are auto lite 104's. Is thiss a good match for my 3100?

    10mm wires are probably BETTER durability wise than stock wires...but thats it.

    You won't see any performance gains in plugs/wires unless yours are shot right now.

    Like Matt said...I'd get the factory lifetime warranty replacement wires and ACD plugs.

    I would rather lose by a mile because I built my own car, than lose by an inch, because someone else built it for me. Your car is your story, so don't let someone else write the book.

    why not? blown pistons and cracked intake manifolds add horsepower

    Make your own intake, port your factory manifolds, aftermarket downpipe...new plugs/wires...full exhaust...maybe crack 150-160 FWHP?

    Or, save your money for something fast and just drive this car.
