Has anyone had any experience with these? I just purchased the whole new ignition set up and i need some of these helically wound super-duper spark plug wires. I've had good luck before with jeg's brand stuff, but I don't want to gimp out on something important. It'd be nice not to pay another 40 for the superconductors or sidewinders that as far as I can tell are the same thing as the pow'r wires except you tack on that extra 40 for the MSD or Mallory name tag. Here's a link to the wires I was looking at:

Also, that set includes the coil wire, which i believe the MSD set does not, and that's another 12 bux. Anyone have experience with these? Thanks.

You will be fine with those in your street driven Elky.

I've used a set for about 8 months now and have had zero problems. I would say get'em.

Solid. The only real difference I could see was that the jeg's wires use a stainless steel alloy wire and the msd ones use a copper alloy wire.

Good stuff, I have them on mine and have had no ignition issues at all. Trim them up though, they are a bit long.

Actually I went with the MSD wires after all. They have a much lower resistance rating, so i get a bit more spark for my buck. I'm thinking if I spent the money on the ignition components, might as well get as much as i can from them, besides my fuel isn't burning all too awesomely so I need as much spark as I can get. Now I gotta get those stupid sleeves to protect them, man the loopholes and extra necessities really get you.
