If you're going to change your wires in hope of a performance gain, please save your money. Plug wires, espicially on a small low-power engine, is not going to do a thing. I know some here might say they feel a difference, but you're only kidding yourself. Even if it "made a difference" (it won't) the car is still going to be slow.


Just save your money for something useful.
Yes BUT== the Factory Wires were selected for low cost, not long service life, and should be replaced when the plugs get replaced, as a preventative;

As for performance:
A plug wire that ain't working is bad for performance, even if it is only intermittent misfires.

But a working wire is all you really need, there is no extra power to be found once that sparkplug fires.
It all comes down to reliability.
A set of high-quality aftermarket wires will give years of dependable service.
