Nology wires are built very cheaply. THey are fine when installed, and add that bling'bling under the hood, but they come apart very easily at the connectors when you remove them to change plugs etc etc. Infact, when a while ago we contacted them abou the issue, their answere??? They sent us a tiny tube of silicon to fix the wires! Had nothing but bad experiences with them.

I had them. I liked them when they were new, but the boots only lasted about 18 months, and the ground straps are a hassle. I have new stock wires now, and have no ignition issues at 19psi boost.

Our cars are not powered by ionizing flamethrowers (seems to be Nology’s advertising claim), but by a good air/fuel ratio in good compression ignited at the right time. My standard ignition and cheap HT wires are fully adequate to ensure combustion in each cylinder at all times, even idle and that’s certainly all I would ask for. As an extra insurance though, I am using Bosch Platinum +4 sparkplugs.

I've got some brand new 8mm Magnecor wires that I'll sell for $75. I was going to use them but they were switching buildings when I ordered them and so I got some stock 8mmm wires from paragon for $120. I'll also sell the stock ones from paragon that I've been running for about 2 months for $75 if someone wants them and I'll run the Magnecor's.
Thanks,
John

I have seen with my own eyes, on the dyno, 10RWHP from switching from Bosch platnum plugs, to NGK-R. Additionally, the dyno runs were much smoother, and this was with no other changes.
The Bosch platnums has only about 800 miles on them FWIW.

Yeap, you sure did and so did I. I was very pleased to see they charged me less than $2 for shipping as well. After going through Jacobs, stock, and NGK (I think), I finally landed on magnecors, I don't think they'll need replacement anytime soon, but if they did, that's what I would get again.
Their connectors aren't the best quality however, and I do prefer the stock ones in that aspect.

you fellas must have gotten the 7mm as they are like $57 or so I got the 8mm which were $75. Since they are brand new I figured they would still be worth that much. If it makes a difference I'll pay for shipping to get them to whoever wants them.

Tony G,
That’s an interesting observation on the Bosch Platinum (+4 I presume). I will stick with them though until detecting a misfire under idle or under power and my 750iL has “liked” them for about 5k miles. BTW detecting misfires is much easier on a 4-cyl engine than on a V12.
