wires
I have them on my vett, and they are dynoed for 5-10hp on stock cars. the factory wires 940 ohms of resistance, and the granatellis have 0.05 ohms of resistance. I measured mine with a meter and they were all 0.03 ohms. I don't have a dyno to state 5-10 hp, but I can tell you my throttle response was night and day on my a6 vett, and it's all stock except for the wires. I have had them on several ls1 5.3l trucks I have owned over the last few years with the same results as my vett. Less resistance = more power. Hope that helps.

Skip the Granatelli wires and go straight for the Turbonator...half the cost of the wires and twice the power gain.

If you look at RWHP, 35 HP more at each wheel gives you a 70 HP gain...twice as much as the wires.
PS I only state the facts as I make them up...and remember, dumb looks are still free.

The wires are made of pixie dust...and the first 100 customers get a pill to drop in the gas tank that will give you 50 mpg in stop and go traffic...

Nice Wires but overspriced
Well I have them and they obviously dont add 35 hp let along 5 probably, but they are the nicest built wires I have had on my C5 ZO6. They do read 0 ohms resistance which I have yet to see with any other wire. I dont know why it makes a difference because the pro race teams do not use granetelli wires. Also the turbonator might have been pricey but it was much easier than custom turbos that really work.

They build resistance into the wires because if you don't you generate EMP pulses. That used to not matter in the days before electronics, but you're going to eventually fry your ECM with 0 ohm wires.
