kiker wires amazing!!!!

I don't understand a couple of things on their website: (this was also e-mailed to them and I'll post the response)
How does coiling the wire make for enough EMI filtering to run these wires in an EFI vehicle? What is the core of the wires made of that enables a magnetic field to travel down the wire? and how does that help the spark? How does the wire create multiple sparks? How does reducing the resistance of the wires help when still using resistor-type plugs? 60 ohms over even 6 feet is 360 ohms and your normal resistor spark plug is about 4.5k ohms for a combined 4,860 vs 4,500. Even as the plugs get hot and their resistor values drop it still isn't a big difference. |
FWIW, the last thread about these:

Response to my email questions I posted above:

Could start with the fact that wires don't produce energy. That "Tessla" is spelled "Tesla." That most of the energy your ignition coil puts out gets dissipated in the spark, and not the cable, so low resistance cables are moot in the first place. Plug wires wont make multiple sparks. Multiple spark ignition systems make multiple sparks.
The only truth I see in the entire thing is that properly coiling of a ground wire around the plug wires could reduce noise. That's about it, it's called RF shielding and it's nothing new. The placebo effect is strong with this one. |

I'm trying to figure out how a small amount of lost inefficiency in a gas combustion engine could be converted to close to doubling my mileage of a similar Focus. Is Reardon Metal used in the wires? |

Actually, automotive ignition systems are pretty wasteful. Only around 0.2%(yes .2) of electrical energy used to fire the ignition system gets turned into actual spark. The rest is converted into heat.
