Thumbs up Racing Beat Ignition Wires

My wires just came in the mail, Just through them on really quick. Fired it up, I could tell a noticable differnce just from the start up. I havn't driven it yet, but I can tell its running better.

I recommend these to anyone.

While they are nice, as a comparison, how old and in what condition were the wires they replaced? Often times on ignition parts, what you see as an improvement is merely replacing worn parts back to standard operation.

these are good wires.
I used them for quite some time on my car and they worked as intended. (I believe they're made by Ulta?)

I've since switched to the BHR Ignition.
Also, BHR sells oem wire replacements that are pretty damn good. (I used those for a while as well)

My old ignition wires were okay shape, alittle on the dirty side, hardly looked used inside the end caps, maybe alittle worn. Nothing major. I also just put a Greddy positive voltage stabilizer on my batter too, I havn't started my car with it on yet, but i'm curious to how it runs.

I'll find out tmw on the way to work.

I mean, its just bright red wires in your engine bay, looks good. As for the stabilizer, its in my battery cover...It didnt even have any kind of mounting bracket, So, I have an old small rag snugged up agesnt the stabilizer, which is between the battery and the battery box.
