    Been looking in past threads, and havent been able to find anything on them. Heard good things about them from a friend. Opinions?

    They work, but they burn out early. If you want a capacitor charge up effect, go with pulse plugs instead.

    What wires would you recommend to go with the pulse plugs then?

    Yeah. There's also APC wires available, but I don't trust that cheap brand.

    I had put some MSD wires on my 7th gen and they came with extenders ... They kept popping off the distributor cap so I brought them back and just bought stock NGK and they fire fine ....LOL.... Now thinking maybe I should have silicone glue the extenders... :)

    The NGK wires don't really increase anything. I don't feel anything. It's just blue. :)

    When you say early, how early do you mean? With pulse plugs wouldnt they work really good? Do you know anyone that has them?

    I don't know what would happen with a double capacitor effect. I'm thinking it wouldn't work together at all or you could screw something up by doing so. The Magnecore wires don't last as long as the OEM wires.
