Spark plug wires...$349.00???

One of the forum's sponsors (Corvette Central item number CC#17131) has a set of plug wires listed on a certain auction site; that we all know, for $349.00 (buy it now).

They seem to have some sort of capacitor on them for an extra blast of power to the plug, claiming an extra 8 to 10 hp gain....
Anyone have any experience with these? Could plug wires possibly be worth that kind of money?

I don't really see a brand name in the description unless I missed it....(?)

8 to 10 HP gain per plug too!

Never heard of them myself sounds questionable.

Never heard of them, but no way I'd pay that much for spark plug wires. My GMPP red ones from Gene do just fine.

I had a set on my 97 vette and could not tell a differents at all. The wires and silver tip spark plugs cost me 299.99 about 5 years ago. I have since replaced them with a set of MSD wires. The only bad thing about them is they are like 14 inches long. This twice as long as the factory ones.
