    Bigger wire = less resistance = better spark. Not much gains, but they are there.

    Don’t listen to them Will, MSD 8.5mm wires are FTW

    But seriously, wires are not a big deal for performance. As long as the resistance is tolerable and they are in good physical shape you will be fine. I just had a friend with a plug wire so bad it was arcing over on him, he was digging around and it shocked the #$@# out of him. That being said, if you buy a good set of wires now you will never have to concern yourself about them again.

    So how did your oil change go?

    A thicker wire is typically only a thicker insulation over the core. In my case I ran the wires under the SC snout and through a lot of stuff. Thicker wires ensure to me that they don't arch because the insulation.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
