I know this is an old thread, but is there some defect in the stock wires that they don't conduct well? I mean, I'm a hot-rodder, and even REAL HIGH HP drag racers don't worry about the plug wires. I mean, yes, they use a quality set like MSD, but they're not a performance upgrade. It's funny when I see people list their spark plugs and wires as a "mod" to their car. Sure separates the ricers from the racers.

So what's the factory defect in the system?
