Finally, I'm going home for 18 days this Saturday if it's God's Will...I'll get to finish my Celi
 I was wondering if Vitek wires made a difference in whatever and if they're worth me spending $129 on them.

I got no brand specific experience, but from what I've heard. Stick with magnacore, or since you got turbo nology might do you some good.

Not necessarily a valid comparison but something to thing about.....during one of our dyno sessions with our spec miata we were switching plug wires trying to see if it made any difference.....The magnacores made almost 2hp LESS than the STOCK NGK wires. This is on a pretty much stock engine (intake/exhaust). I run parts store wires on mine. It might be worthwhile to get the good stuff if you had an MSD ignition or something but thats even questionable. I say as questionable as it is, I sure wouldn't spend that kinda money on it.

The thing I like about Vitek wires over Magnacore is that Vitek uses only 8mm wires. A lot of companies try to say that 8.5/9.0 mm wires give better power, but capacitence becomes an issue.
NGK wires are actually better than stock though, and as much as I like the Vitek wires I have, when I replace them, it will be with NGK. The only reason I didn't get NGK to start with is because they were hard as he77 to find when I needed new wires(about 2 years ago, which means it's about time to look for new wires). |
