I put them on mine... I had no expectation of performance gain,(even thought thats what they are marketed for) I only put them on b/c they look good.
Was there any performance gain? I don't know, beats the heck out of me..the Dyno in my **** can't tell. lol

I bought the SE 10mm wires. I am having problems puting them into the wire looms. I want them secure to avoid problems from engine heat, any ideas on how to install them ??? Thanks in advance

Be Safe JIM
