Default installed taylor wires, i swear i noticed a difference

everyone on here said wires would do nothing, and that the taylors suck. Well the resistance must be lower, and they must transfer energy better than stock, because doing a burnout lasts longer, and the hi rpm response/power is definatly better, with just the wire swap. I did the swap, just for looks alone, but i noticed a small difference, and that made me happy.

The wires are worth it .. I went with the Thunderbolt 50's. I could notice a difference. Put an ohm meter on them, they measure out to 50ohms. If you do the same thing to a stocker, it comes out to about 760-780 ohms. There IS a difference.

How much of a difference are you talking about? There is no way you can feel 5hp in a 4200+ lb vehicle....I just can't believe otherwise. Most people say that although some aftermarket wires are more efficient, no gain can be had from switching from one spiral core wire to the other. I'm giving the benefit of the doubt and saying 5hp. It's in you minds.
