I would like more information if available......
What were the baseline wires?
What kind of % increase HP & Torque are we discssuing?
Do you think this applies to high energy ignitions and conventional points
as well?
Was this at all RPM (more in steady state, more in acceleration) is the
increase most visible.
Did fuel mix (lean or rich matter)?

I have a Dynojet 248C Chassis Dyno in my shop. The only wires that I
have seen to actually add HP & Torque on the Dyno are made by Nology.
Iam sure there must be others but these are the only ones I've seen that
work.
