Twisted 12mm Spark plug wires
Anyone have these? Any real gains? Worth $60?

Haven't seen those, but I'm running Thundervolt 10.2mm wires from Sumax (around $55.00) and super insulated. Typically, 8.8mm is the norm. They should fit, do you have the 103ci motor. I'd think those would be great, but probably not that noticable from stock.

I just changed to SE coil, wires, open air cleaner, re-jetted and new 2 into 1 pipe.....so yes, Huge difference. However, couldn't say it was just from the wires.

Sorry bro, unless you got spark issues to begin with, you not gonna see anything from just spark plug wires. You will be doing it for looks only.

No performance gains from plugs wires. Why would there be?

Every mm of extra insulation is worth at least 1HP gain.... Go for it I say!

It also helps with traction making your tires last twice as long.
