Upgrade spark plug wires?

[Dr Juice]

What i wanna know is, if i add in preformace sparkplug wires on a stock ignition system with decent bosch plat 2 plugs, will there be a power gain, or anything nocicably different?

[Dr Juice]

The bosch +2's will do no more than the regular platinum plugs.

I got new aftermarket plug wires because they were new, insulated better, and looked snazzy. 'Bout all you'll get out of them though.

not necessarily. It all depends on how u old wires are. If it is all worn and cracking and really shows signs of age then u can get a small amount of gain. if ur wires are still fairly new then probably get like .5-1 hp gain on stock everything. anyway to me it is worth ur money because now days when u buy a performance part... u usually pay about $50 per hp gain. see what i mean jelly bean?

Well lets see, i have 3 fairly new wires and 1 old one. Yes i bought 4, but one of the rubber extension pieces broke off at the top of the valve cover, so i have 1 realy old one. Worst part of it is, i had to replace them cuase 1 of the old wires was shot, one of the ones im using now. if that makes any sence

Well, of course replacing something broken with a good one will give you back the power that was lost.

I bought some sparkplug wires that were pretty cheap and ended up falling apart. The part that fits snuggly onto the spark plug actually separated from the seal.

I went with the OEM wires from a honda dealer.

IMHO get either OEM honda wires or ACCEL wires, the accel wires are the closest thing to stock fit and quality I could find.
