I tested the resistance of the factory wires at around 930ohms and tested my taylors at around 30ohms, so take that for what its worth.

Call me an idiot if you wish. Is the higher the ohm or lower the ohm better?

It's electrical resistance so the lower the ohms the more power that makes it to the sparkplug

Sorry to bring this back from the dead but for you guys with different plug wires, how well are they coming off the plug? I have some PCMofNC wires that are used by a lot of Nascar teams and they get stuck on and are also hard to get back on. Was thinking of getting Taylor wires but not sure if they'll be any better. Just sucks on the passenger's side getting them off and on!

I had this issue today when putting on my wires from BLOWNCHEVY. #7 and #8 plug wires are the worst to get out of there. Be prepared to bust a knuckle or two with those. And also make sure to put some dielectric grease in both boots.
