lol these pics were taken weeks ago when i got the wires i'm not gonna go re-test them but **** for $25 i'm not going to complain they're good quality wires compared to the stock ones i had before

EDIT.. i was curious so i said **** it, went tried it out like you said and multimeter showed 00.3 so they do have some sort of resistance but compared to the rest, these are by far the best when it comes to low resistance

Every wire fit in the stock heat shield. I have single pics of each wire but this pretty much sums it up.

Winner of the Ohm test = Granatelli
Winner of the Fitment test = Granatelli

From my personal test if your going to spend the money for good wires, there is a clear winner. Hope this thread helps everyone.

Interesting results, but with a run that short, a plug wire is a plug wire IMO. Only reason to buy one over another is appearance.

You could be right but I don't agree. Every little bit helps and after 9k in my truck with performance mods, 130 dollar wires that are better than the 70 dollar ones are a no brainer. Keeping the wires from being burnt is key, the ohm testing is just an added bonus
