    Thicker Spark Plug Wires?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I was wondering are there any thicker spark plug wires for our car (AEB)? Also I read the thread about converting AEB to ATW coil packs but is it really necessary to make power, it definitely not for amateurs, has anybody else done this?

    Spark plug wires? The coil pack is on the spark plug, there are no spark plug wires

    why would you need that? the spark is made in the coil pack. unless you somehow add another coil before the coil the wires that feed the coil packs arent carrying any more current. no need for bigger wires.

    No, people are making over 500whp on the stock coil packs.

    According to this it makes more senses and allows for better spark and less trouble shooting
