Guys I am more than happy to answer any questions you have, but please don't be disrespectful about it. I'm not trying to start a war here,

We do not achieve absolute zero with our wires. 0.05-0.10 OHMs are usually achieved on our wires. If you checked the video or looked at Chevy High Performance Magazine's Sept. 2005 issue on our wires, there's your proof it has been done.

If you checked up on insulators, fiberglass is one of the best materials you can use, which we've utilized for our wires.

Our wires actually have less RFI/EMI interference than an O.E. set and allows full coil power to reach the spark plug. RFI/EMI interference can cause more than just radio interference, but also could cause spark jump from one cylinder to another. Granted GM could've designed their wires with an intentional amount of resistance, our wires have been designed with the "best of both worlds"---no RFI/EMI interference issues and the most conductive wires out on the market.

Granted our wires are more of an expense than the competition, the quality of our wires are unsurpassed. You can't expect to get a Ferrari at the cost of a Honda.

When I said that our wires are made with solid stainless steel, I meant they are not coated stainless steel. The core is braided and made completely out of stainless steel.

You haven't seen copper rust before???? Did you ever take a look at the Statue of Liberty??? You don't need iron to rust copper, you need oxygen. Copper carbonate (CuCO) is copper-rust. Iron oxide (FeO) is iron-rust. (Gotta thank chemistry class for that)

A video of a new C6 Z06 testing out our wires on back-to-back runs from stock to GMS wires. 10 RWHP & 17 lb-ft torque increase

 

Bad plug wires can cause misfire and decrease power, however good wires will not increase power. If you are racing (high compression, high boost,lots of fuel and high powered coils or magnetos than a wire such as a Moroso Ultra 40 is needed. For a street car that is used for dragracing and or road racing a good quality wire such as Moroso wires are all that is needed.

 

Where can I get some of this ....STP?....stuff???? I would like to make and sell stickers with that logo if you thing it may be good idea.

 

well,
wires are wires, some are better than others.
It doesn't make sense to compare wires to the difference between Honda and Ferrari as far as price.
we are talking about (in this case) making 7 inch plug wires with boots on each end.
The $169.00 isn't justifiable
Jacobs wires aren't that expensive, and so ya know, I took one off and ohmed it.
17 ohms. and I got em at Summit for $45 and yea u can feel the difference over stock wires.
AND I got my average fuel mileage readout to rise by 2 mpg after installation (with new plugs) on a 24,000 mile 2001 C5

 

The people that would pay that kind of money for these wires are the same people that would pay (and waste) money on Monster Cable for audio equipment.

 

Doesn't change the fact that copper is a much better conductor than stainless. I still don't see how it is the most conductive, unless it a 15 mm wire or something and then you are just talking about unnecessary overkill.

Calling it rust is stretching the definition of rust. It is really "patina", which is a form of corrosion, and actually coats the copper and stops any further corrosion. There are millions of miles of bare copper wires hanging in the air, feeding electricity to every city and town in the U.S. Did you ever see any just rust and fall down? Doesn't happen. I'm not arguing, just trying to keep the facts straight. You might have been sleeping during that part of chemistry class.

As far as the Statue of Liberty goes, the copper didn't rust. The iron framework caused the problems. I stole this off the internet, which explains what happened: (again, iron caused the problem)

The galvanic reaction between iron and copper was originally mitigated by insulating copper from the iron framework using an asbestos cloth soaked in shellac. However, the integrity and sealing property of this improvised insulator broke down over the many years of exposure to high levels of humidity normal in a marine environment. The insulating barrier became a sponge that kept the salted water present as a conductive electrolyte, forming a crude electrochemical cell.

Another quote:

Does copper rust?
No. Pure copper oxidizes but only on the surface in the form of a dark green patina. Like paint, this thin coating of oxidization prevents any further oxidization. Surface oxidation does not weaken the copper nor does it reduce electrical conductivity.

Another significant difference between copper and iron is that iron is a base metal, whereas copper is a noble metal. Base metals extract oxygen from the air or water to form oxides. The rust which forms on iron exposed to the air is a compound of iron and oxygen. Copper does not rust, so it does not lock up oxygen in the way that iron does.

 

Oh but they're so much prettier.
