Is lower resistance better? Yes
Is a hotter spark better? Yes
Is it necessary? No

Is synthetic oil necessary, no.....is any oil filter other than an orange one necessary, no....lots of folks buy things that aren't necessary but we buy them anyway.

Now the OP has recommendations for ok/good plug wires to top of the line/best plug wires. Decisions, decisions.

The MSDs djb383 recommended are good to but I'm not sure that they are enough better than the Taylors to justify being double the price (~$70-$80): http://www.summitracing.com/search/y...43637%2B400122

If you are just looking for stock replacements, just about any "Premium/Pro" grade wires will do, just avoid the really cheap ones.

Thanks. Money is tight so that sounds like a great deal.
