Spark plug wires question
Hey guys, I'm board, and I was curious about something. Do you think you would actually notice a difference in anyway between Ford Racing 9mm spark plug wires and the MSD Super Conductor or the Live wires?
I noticed in another thread some great stats:
"Stock wires - 1200 to 1500 ohms of resistance per foot
Ford Racing wires - 500 ohms per foot
Accel yellow 8.8 - 250 ohms per foot
Accel black Race Wires - 150 ohms per foot
MSD Super Conductor wires - 50 ohms per foot
Moroso Super 40 wires - 40 ohms per foot"
This got me thinking. On a NA motor with just regular NGK copper tops, an MSD coil, and a 6AL box, would you actually notice a difference between the Ford racing or the MSD/Livewire? Livewire are supposed to be 300-350 ohms per foot. Currently, I have the Ford racing ones on my 331 stroker. I've had no issues. I never noticed a difference my spark ever made except when I put the 6AL box in and my coil went bad. Thoughts?

I don't think there would be any noticable difference at all. Top fuel dragsters maybe when they're looking for that .05 hp advantage. But on a daily driver street car, probably not.
Just my opinion. I usually go with whatever set matches my color theme that year lol.
