Well to add to this thread a little bit, I found this statement to be quite interesting:
NOTE: 8.5mm is the optimum thickness. It retains all the spark energy. Wires thicker than 8.5mm slow down spark travel because they introduce too much capacitive loading (the electrical equivalent of inertia).

:banana: I have the NGK BP7Es for plugs and the 8.8 Accels, so I must not have much resistance at all. :3gears:
i really hope you are kidding.
funny thou
Unfortunately Jacobs information is crap. Way back in the day they sold me an ignition system for my Starion that was supposed to add 3 mpg and 18 hp. I didn't see much of any difference.

I do use 8.8 accels, but that is because the 8.8s have double the silicone for insulating to like 550 degrees and 500 ohms per foot. and I am trying the NGK BP7E plug I just put them in to see. some times I boost 20 lbs on 92 oct, I want a new motor anyway. :3gears: so far the plug run the same the wires are my second set after 35000 miles or so.
