Default Can High Resistance Plug Wires Cause LS1 Coil Breakdown?

When I say high resistance, I'm talking 300 ohms per inch and about 5.5kOhms (i.e. 5,500 ohms) for the entire length of the wire. Can this much resistance burn out the secondary winding in an LS1 coil over time? Has anyone ever heard of this happening?
