    Are those Crane Wires? They dont look like them, but I think Cranes are bigger. It really does help the idle.

    I have blue in mine. I gotta take a pic of my engine bay now because it looks totally different than in my cardomain site. But i figured im painting my CAI and putting that in soon and painting my valve cover so I might as well wait.

    yeah i had the cranes mess up on me already, the connetor pulled out and stuff...

    i think huge spark plug wires are more for show than anyhting else, (dont get me wrong they look really cool) but unless your other wires were really crappy i wouldnt say you would notice anything...

    are cars are full of performance placibos i think whenver you add something "holy shit it runs soo much better" thats what i have noticed, i dunno if stuff really makes much of a diffrence tho

    What's the size of the NGK spark wires? 10mm? I got those for free from my mechanic when he accidentally broke my hood support beam (and then bought me a new one at my next visit, my mechanic is awesome, he gives me free stuff. )
