Default Nology vs. OEM wires

is it really an advantage getting "hot wires" like the NOLOGY set? Any experience? Likes? Dislikes? I ordered a set of these a few days ago

Most stock wires are pretty decent, and I wouldn't expect to pick up any noticeable amount of power from aftermarket wires. The Nology wires work fine, and you might notice a difference, but that would usually be from having fresh wires instead of old ones.

Probably the best write-up on all of this, is on the Magnecor website.
Aside from the massive amounts of EMI emitted from the Nology wires, which will screw up almost all of your electronic sensor readings on the car, there's no real disadvantage to running them.

OEM wires are relatively good, especially compared with the average aftermarket wire.
But, I'll leave it to any interested party to go hunt down and read the article!

Not true.

I have several friends well over the 400whp mark in honda that have factory wires. Hell, almost all of them ahve the factory ignition setup down to the factory coil and iginitor.

Only one has coil packs but he did it for extra reassurance as he's making 700whp.
