Do they make a difference in horsepower if you chnage these out?? There are so many brands and all i look for is a matching color for the look of the engine compartment???

hell yeah it all adds up at the end.. the better quality...and the fatter the cable depending on you cars engine performance.. all adds up at the end...cuz the fatter the cable the better the spark to the plugs..resulting in a hotter combustion .....so yes it does help it out.. it wont give you as many horsies as putting some stickers on your car.. but hey you already know that???

just messin hope that helps

yup thats what it is.. most of the wires that you would buy at the store are usuall 7mm i think. you can get 8mm.. 9mm and 10mm the biggest i have seen is about 12mm....

it also depends on your spark plugs, wire size ,coil out put, and a lot to do with the fluids you putin your vehicle. k&n filters bring hp up by 10% and adding a 1 inch spacer under your carb makes a little hp too. in addition the amount of COLD air you can ram down the carb helps in hp as well as size of cam and ehaust ports. headers will give you atleast 5 more hp.but if u have an import car i cant help ya. oh i forgot intake manifolds play a big role in hp too.
