bigger isn't really what to look at you want the lowest ohm resist wires..they make 25's now ..the FMS is about 10 times resist..I think hooley annilators are about 25 or 50..using heat shinl wrap helps

So what is a good resistance? 25ohms? That's extremely low.

if there is less resistance, then they will give you more volts, so they will burn the gas better, so they will give you a little more power

they dont give you power.

These FRPP 9mm's seem fine with my setup.I run a duraspark 2 ignition which isnt as good as say a MSD but still reliable and good to about 400hp.

I have ran those 9mm FMS they seem to get brittle fast and burn fairly easy..I have a set of the holley's not bad..but i think the only come in back..yeah 25 ohm is the lowest on the markets..that's why I don't like precut wires are some are to long and cost ya some fire power is keep resist as low as possible

bull****, dont quote me on things. you dont know what your talking about so quit repling ot threads. sit back and learn first. one plugs dont burn gas, and they dont give you power. if anything they free up but dont expect to see big gains in a set of wires. i garrenty you dont know more about anything electrical then i do.

i never said to expect big gains. you are jumping to conclusions, as always. are you just out to fight or somethin?? chill out! i never said i know more than you or anything like that. so be a big boy and stop tryin to "intimidate" us, cause its not working.
