Yea so I'm looking to replace my plugs and wires...my friend with a new miata said to get some plugs called irinium or something that sounds like that.

What can I get that will give me the biggest boost in HP?

Thanks,

Chance

Krunko that is exactly what I am getting.
The Denso plugs with Magnecore wires, Ive done a bit of researching and it seems to me that its the best setup for the money. I should be getting mine in a few weeks and Ill post a review here for others to read.
If you get yours first let me know how they do please,

cheers

Personally I'm saving my money for Nology Hotwires, the ones with capacitors built into the lines.

I have the nology hot wires, they're really good on the highway, it feels like another gear when u gun it. but nevertheless, i am running the HKS drag racing plugs, which are heat-11.  i cant't wait for the cash to upgrade to the HKS twin power ignition.

Man,

If you want a wire and plug combo that will blow your mind and pump up your top end get Nology Hotwires and nology plugs.

The most wires look great and give a little extra charge, but Hotwires fire about 100 times the charge of your average wire.  Check out their site www.nology.com.

The ran me $280 (Canadian), do the math, and $40 for the plugs.  They look great and run awesome.

Even with a turbo system you wont really notice much of a gain from Plugs / Ignitoin Systems / Wires.

If I were you I would stock with a NGK Platnium Plug. I have the Iridium's by NGK and they work fine but I dont see spending the extra $ for nothing.

Wires is simple... Magnecor are one of the best IMHO, but all do about the same. Nology is trying to sell a name more than a product, but still are good units.

You will notice after installing these that your car will run smoother and it will get to redline a little quicker, with maybe a few extra ponies.

Very true, I just dont want people to be expecting 10% gains like some of these companys with ignition systems claim.

Best wires and plugs will give you 3-5 horses MAX. You guys listed all the best ones up there, so i have nothing else to say <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>.
