I just installed my new Msd Wires and NGK Iridiums. I think I gained 10-20 hp from this Actually my car pulls alot harder in higher rpms now!

i have the msd 6 with stock wires and v-power plugs and pulls a lot harder from low rpms to around 5500rpms. after that it's just dead

you need to upgrade your wires and coil dude! BTW did you notice a difference after you installed the msd 6 i'm probably gonna pickup an ignition system and coil next. I heard you've gotta do the whole ignition-plugs, wires, coil to see max performance yo!

i have the blaster 3 coil on it. you need to modify the 5th wire to fit it.

Hmm... I have denso iridiums and magnecor wires and I didn't really notice a difference at all. Maybe a little smoother when I replaces my super old stock wires, but I don't think I really gained any power.

Do you have a full ignition?

ummm there's no way you got 20 hp period as iridums have shown a 20 max WHP gain on a car that was modified heavily and that power was gained due to using a plug of correct heat range allowing more timing/fuel.

hopefully you checked to make sure there was no oil on the old wires so you don't go and ruin a nice new set of wires ;)

:rolleyes: this guy actually thought I was serious. It was actually like a 1-2 hp gain on the butt dyno. lol Combination of new iridium plugs and new msd wires. Now when I get my Ignition + Coil it should give me any from 4-10 extra hp
