The 8.5mm's are not just a larger size cable, but are a higher performance and better suppressed product (more intended for modified or raced cars, that can be used on any high performance street engine).

Here's an interesting fact: Magnecor used to make spark plug wires for Saab Australia for a few years in the 1980's, who were looking for a better product, until Saab in Sweden insisted they sell the factory Bougicords - so we do know something about Saab wires SB > > > > If you're interested, the Magnecor Technical Information web site is at > > > > http://www.magnecor.com - if you're not, please ignore this post. > > > > > > > > FWIW, in the long-run our wires are better than Bougicords > > > > > > Only time will tell, but with 10k on the SPG I can't say > > > I have any complaints... :) I *will* say they *drastically* > > > cut down on radio interference.
