Coils, wires, or both? I don't have it back together so it would be easy to pop a few pictures.

Thanks for the pic. They are some big ole wires aren't they? They look twice as thick. I take it you and Daniel are working on this change together. Any other pics or p/n #'s for coils, wires, and plugs that you Daniel have is always appreciated. Thanks, guys

Nology Hot Wires

It would be valuable to have a before and after dyno comparison with just the wires swapped.

I looked into Nology. Just one of those cables cost $314.13. Unless in the quantity column 1 means 1 set, not 1 wire. They also have Carbon fiber wrapped cables. $314.13 seems reasonable for a complete set. $2513.04, not so much, lol. They claim a 300x more powerful spark. At that much more, you think it would be arc-welding the interior of the engine,lol. They also claim more HP, might be worth it.

Vilant,

Yes, they are very big wires. The Screamin Demon Coils and Nology Wires were bought and installed in 06/2000 by previous owner, I just looked through my 3 inch thick folder of receipts. Yes, they are $300ish a set. We have already reinstalled the plenum but I will remove it again to take a few pics, easy to pull plenum without coolant in yet.

I have known Daniel since high school and this being my first vette he has been helping me out. I picked up this Z in April of this year and have really been enjoying her. Daniel has a lot more experience with vettes but we are learning on the ZR-1s together.

Scott,

Like I stated above the previous owner installed coils and Nology wires, so I am not to sure about the performance claims. It would be cool to see differences with just wires swapped.

CJ,
Looks like the plemum has to come back off anyhow... I left a beer bottle under it BTW what was the plenum torque again? 89 ft-lb right? Ill make sure and put plenty of red thread lock on those

If you did the pull the plenum, and have the pics, I'm still interested in seeing them, even though I bought the AC Delco's. I also quickly bought everything, once I got approval, in case my wife changed her mind. I originally wasn't planning on getting everything until at least Nov..
