For the most part, I agree. I think my problem was I was bombarded from 
fellow racers with amazing stories on how well the Nology system worked at 
improving power ect. Naturally, they were all suckered into the feeling the 
wires gave at extremely low RPM's. So, I was the next sucker.

Uh, is that french?  :)

What do you mean? Are you saying that stuff doesnt work either?? My gawd, 
what are we all comming to???

This is mechanical. Usually 1 or 2 is good. Especially when your testing one 
component on different engine configs. (Like my CIS 8V and Mikes CIS-E 16V.) 
We both showed a drop in hp with the nology system. We even did the tests 
backwards from the other so if the heat was a factor, it would show up, but 
it didnt. Same HP drop. 
Also on the nology's advantage, we both used an older set of stock wires! I 
thought Mikes 16V wires were gonna break they were so brittle looking. So, 
the more I think about it and the more Nology avoids my phonecalls, im 
beginning to think Nology is crap. (Somewhere in there im getting pissed!)

Sent them to you already. Uh, Gif was the format. Do you need it in another 
format? Name it if you do.
