Default Nology HotWires... What do you think?

I see that Nology HotWires are out now (or maybe have been out for a while haha), anyways, just wondering what your opinions are on these. And maybe give some other alternatives for one who wants to change the spark plug wires.
ok thanks

I spent about 15-20 min on the phone with the Lead tech guy at Nology yesterday, his name is Jeff Klein. We discussed the wires and why a customer should switch to their setup. It was a very interesting conversation and being my close friend owns Vitek Performance, I was estastic to see this guy knew what he was talking about instead of a sales man simply trying to make you buy a product. The Stock coil pack is very small and only give a lil spark to each cylinder. With the nology relocation coil-on conversion, it will allow the spark to build up and give more to each cylinder. Nology is claiming a 2-5% increase in power. I am looking to dyno this sometime in the near future to see.

I will get a review on these up when I install them. I have purchased these from Creative Compacts yesterday and should get them next week. I will have my valve cover powdercoated and put the wires on sometime next week probably.

I remember seeing someone on the clubsciontc(http://www.clubsciontc.com/modules.p...ewtopic&t=2796) forums bought this, but has not received it yet. i'm hoping that the gains will be enough for me to consider these, or if it's all a gimmick (the capacitor thingy)

well if its only 2% that wont be worth 180 bucks but maybe 5% because that would be around 6hp at peak possibly which is close to an intake for about 50 less.

But it will provide power on all the mods... so you should see the hp increase on your other bolt ons as well

The engine dampers and ignition equalizer that they make... I would rather order from you guys than prostreetonline.com because you have better prices and service.

The tC is already Coil on plug. Does this convert it to a coilpack w/ wires? The description is kinda vague.
