Well, I agree with everything he siad in the article except for the BS 
starting page 43 last column saying, " ...I was able to maintain pace with 
traffic at lower revs than before". WTF?? Peter Wu doesnt have alot of 
credibility in my book. If you were to call (or go) and talk to Jeff, the 
words you read in the article are his (Jeff Moss). He described the Nology 
wires exactly as it was written in that article. So what does adding wired do 
with changing the gearing on the freeway mr. Wu?? Nada damn thing. Maybe you 
will need less throttle to maintain speeds on the freeway? Thats completely 
different. 

Basically, the performance gains that are claimed in the article are true for 
the most part. Maybe not as glamorous as it  was described but fairly accurate 
non-the-less. 

After chatting with Brett about this today, I thought it might be interesting 
to see whats up with the wires. Iive got a contact who happens to have a Dyno 
available to me for free. I think I will make an appointment to go and have 
the wires tested. I will start with a stock setup. (My older set of Blue 
Ignitors and NGK plugs.) Then I will add the coil amp, dyno it. remove it and 
add just the NOLOGY plug wires and Silverstone plugs. Then add the coil amp 
again so the whole NOLOGY system is installed and run that on the dyno. Should 
be interesting!
