Default magnacor wires

I installed magnacor 8mm wires and bosch platinum +4 plugs today. Only took me an hour and a half....but man was it the longest hour and a half in my life!!!! I am very impressed with the performance. Thought it would make a little difference. Didn't know it was going to be this big of difference!

There is the old saying," You get what you pay for", so it won't take too long before a new set of Magnacor's will be needed.
By the way, at $110 for a set of 8mm"s, that is cheap, Rover want between $32 and $44 fo a single wire.

I got my Magnecor wires from Apex Performance. They seem to have the best prices.

Best price here by far for the Magnacore 8mm: http://www.apexperformance.net/cartg...t.asp?scat=306

Enter "APEX-WINS-10" for an additional 10% off when you check-out. Total before shipping about $78. Shipping about an additional $10 depending where you live.

I just installed the Magnacore 8s as well and WOW. I will need to try the Bosch 4+ when I gather the money for them. In the interim I am using Denso TT PW16TT (double platinum.) Advance Auto was having a sale on them for $2.00 each. The NGK BKR5EGP plugs that I took out do not look very worn at all. I know the PO had a plug wire and a coil changed about 15K miles ago, so I assume that the plugs were changed then. My question is which plugs should I go with? The Brand spankin' new Denso plugs or the unknown mileage NGKs? I know that the Magnacores alone have made a world of difference.
Thanks everyone.
Also purchased from Apex Perf. Great price and good turn around time.

Heck I bought a set of mag wires that were a few months old and I could tell a difference. I gottem for about less than half price...so it was worth it. I installed them with new Platinum 4 plugs.
