power gain isn't really better. just gives it a little better acceleration. i believe they state that it gives a 2% increase in power

Default be warned

slight improvement...but they drop the ball on installation instructions. Don't bother unless you want to spend an entire day figuring out how to install them. On the other hand, their CSR/Tech reps are very knowledgable. When I returned mine, they didn't ask any ?'s or give me any lip service...and the refund was done very quickly...not like some of the other companies out there. You know who I'm speaking of.....

DONT DO IT!!! i spent 250 on these on my old v6 accord (r.i.p.) they did feel a LITTLE better, BUT when you put on hotwires, they are GROUNDED for "better current) bla bla and this is true, though what they dont tell you is that when grounded, they pull for more power from the distributer, now my accord was point style, i think our tc's are electric, but still after 2-3 months my tach started jumpin all over the place never staying at one spot while driving because those wires shot my distributer, i was also starting to notice misfires during driving and such, so then you you are forced to upgrade to a high power ignition system with a blaster coil if you want to keep the hotwires, and when your done, youve spent over 500 dollars for an ignition thats super overkill for any NA setup, that is only nescisary in a high boost aplication, and by the time your done you have a worthless setup that you could a whole lot more benefit by doing a basic i-h-e setup. my $.02. just ask any of these more experienced people on this forum, changing your ignition on an na setup is like putting premium in our cars (WORTHLESS). the stock ignition is more than adequate for us and is even fine for boosted applications!

I still don't understand how "grounding kits" and "spark plug wire kits" are enticing people into thinking they will get more power. Even if it increases power by 1.13254%, do you think you will be able to feel that??????
