Default New plugs and wires

What advantage does aftermarket plugs and wires do over stock. The stockers are suppose to be good anyway. I know the wires gives you more spark, but do they both give you more HP? Or does it just make the motor run better? Also, does an Optima battery give more gains to the motor other than starts or accessories?

IMO. Save your money. None of those mods will net you any measurable performance.

the only diff. I have seen in the wires is the ohms of resistance, stocks are 988 compared to 28 of after market ones. but you won't see any gains at the track, but you might feel a better seat of the pants because you did change them out lol. Its a mental thing I guess ahhaha.
