Default New spark plug wires, WOW

Replaced my plug wires last night with the 8MM ones from Paragon...

HOLY CRAP, revs smoother, doesnt lug or struggle at low RPMs (like 2200RPM in 5th gear, it wasnt bad before but I could notice it) and just all around feels different. All I did was change the wires and I did use the dieeltric grease.

WOW. Now I dont mind the price so much

Almost makes you wonder...what other little parts have you neglected that are causing your motor to lose power?? Get in there and spoil her and give her a tune up!

After all, I thought tax returns were kinda like Valentine's Day for your car, right? lol!

I just swapped mine out too. After 100,000 miles the originals were retired, though it was running "fine" before. Did the cap and rotor too. Overall driveability much improved. Did the FR Wilk chip right after - wow, I am impressed. Don't expect it to run like a 951 but it DOES make a diference. My wires were also Paragon 8mm's. If Skip recommends it?, it is right.
