Plug Wires

Erik, think about that for a second. If there is a misfire from bad wires, the plug isn't sparking, right? An aftermarket plug wire may have minimal power gains from a slightly larger spark, but the main point is to have enough power behind the spark to not get misfires as the boost is raised.

DSM's have extremely strong ignitions and have full power to 7200 RPM, where they start falling off gradually to 7800 after which they fall off more normally.

BTW, my first sentence was meant to be sarcastic.

Basically my point is, the easier you can get the energy to the spark plug, the more of the energy that is travelling there will be used. I understand when you run higher boost you need better spark. That was my point as well. You can use everything you got available if it is not being restricted. The more resistance you have the less of the energy available will be used.
