MTI racing hot spark plug wires

Hi,

I was wondering if any of the you fine Camaro folks here have experience with these plug wires? Notice any difference in performance? Any issues installing them, routing them, etc.?

Should I stay with the factory spark plugs, or go with something else? What do you recommend?

Thanks in advance......

Todd.

From what I've read on here; the factory plug wires provide us with all we need.

Unless you are running a highly modified engine, then they are just for looks really.

No, not really.
They are not just for "highly-modified engines". They provide benefits even on stock engines.

IN FACT: Heat causes electrical resistance, and that robs ignition energy.

The MTI Racing wires tolerate the underhood temps better by using protective heat sleeving and fire braiding to keep heat away from the conductor wire. When the heat is on, the MTI Racing wires keep on delivering full energy, day after day, after day, after day.

Factory wires...not so much

The MTI Racing wires are also easier to use with all header systems. They provide more clearance to the spark plug boot.


MTI Racing Hot Spark Wires
-Protective Heat Sleeving
-Fire Braiding over wire
-Provides more consistent ignition for all applications
-Better clearance to headers
-Enhances engine compartment appearance
-Even available in custom lengths (for variety of valve covers and coil relocation options)

Feel free to call us if you have any questions...

Do the ignition wires simply "wiggle and pull" off both the spark plugs and coils? Thanks.

Not to bash a vendor (MTI), but while those claims you are making can't be refuted, because they are all true, the difference is negligible and will not show up on a dyno, the road, the racetrack, or otherwise on a stock style setup. There simply isnt enough heat/wasted spark/needed magneto energy. The stock setup is extremely robust.

Alfie, I just had MTI make me custom yelllow cables and I love the way they turned out! Yes they just wiggle on and you hear a bit of a "pop" when they are snapped on. The driver side took like 5 minutes to change. The passenger side was a bit of a PITA and took me almost 1/2 hour trying to get to those hard to reach wires! Arms were a bit "beat up" but it was worth it! I did not buy these for more HP but for an equal quality or better cable than stock that looks alot better. Here are some pics of the cables (just installed tonight):
