| Best by far for my Riv! Granatelli Performance Ignition Wire Set,ACDelco-41-601 plugs. Best responding combo I've ever had by far! Car feels like it has so much juice! My mr.injector refurbed injectors and the combo,dynomite! Works well with the engine mods and exhaust and Sinister Eprom chip. Series 1 people should definetely check the Granatellis out! $86 bucks plus shipping.Not a bad price and right along side other premium sets in that range.  | |

| Not sayin' the wires and plugs aren't good, but it's mostly the injectors causing your improvement, imo. I saw a big power bump just getting my injectors cleaned. Did a scan before & after; it's a significant gain. I never noticed any change just doing plugs & wires though. Seems they either work or they don't. OEMs are really good.
If you have $86 to spend and you want more power, I'd go for the fresh injectors. But those wires do look nice. _________________ '05 GTO 6.0L • 6-spd • 95k miles • 0-60: 4.8s • 16.9 avg MPG • Nelson Ledges Lap: 1:26'95 Celica GT 2.2L • 5-spd • 165k miles • 0-60: yes'98 SC Riviera • 281k miles • 298 HP/370 TQ • 0-60: 5.79s • ET: 13.97 @ 99.28 • 4087 lb • 20.1 avg MPG • Nelson Ledges Lap: 1:30

I hear ya. I took the Riv out for a spin immediately after the mr.inj. instal.I right away felt the smoothness & improved power delivery.A few days later I dropped in the combo set and the seat of the pants impression that I got from the injs,doubled.I'm sold. I understand the basics of wire technology and I can say that these wires are well made.Way better than Bosch or any other set I've tried.They weigh almost twice as much as my old set of Borg-Warner.I do confess they are the first set I've bought that were in this price range.If that makes any difference? | |

| I'm sure they're pretty good for that much $$. For ignition wires I look for a set that can run strong for 100k miles. So far I've gone through 2 sets of AC/delphi (OEM) at $35/set. Let us know how yours hold up in the long run. I'm guessing they'll be just fine. _________________ '05 GTO 6.0L • 6-spd • 95k miles • 0-60: 4.8s • 16.9 avg MPG • Nelson Ledges Lap: 1:26'95 Celica GT 2.2L • 5-spd • 165k miles • 0-60: yes'98 SC Riviera • 281k miles • 298 HP/370 TQ • 0-60: 5.79s • ET: 13.97 @ 99.28 • 4087 lb • 20.1 avg MPG • Nelson Ledges Lap: 1:30

Any residue on the ACDelcos? Nope.They all came out with a nice chalky white/brown engine tan. | |
