yeah... not like an intake, but your car will run cleaner. Do you ever drive it and say sometimes... man my car feels like crap today. Thats what im talking about. You wont get much of a HP gain (maybe 1HP) but it will feel better and make your car respond better. Its definately a must if your going to put alot of money into your engine.

It's one of those small things that helps overall....you wont notice any major performance increase if any by themselves tho.

A question that i have is.. Do plugwires go bad even though there is no visual sign of wear, ie (No corrosion around contacts , and no damage to the rubber).

every 60k the wires should be checked for resistance (even if they look good). if they're bad it could be hard to start your car (or cause misfiring).
