Aftermarket Spark Ignition = Will I gain Anything?

Is it possible to gain anything with a mod like this for the Maxima engine?

Seriously though, you're better off just starting with some new plug wires. I have these MSD wires on my 95, they definitely helped:

Man, are we quick to SLAM people here.

I thought it says "Discussions" at the top.

If you don't have anything intelligent to say about the given subject, then go back to playing your Playstation and / or homework.

Dont Listen

Dont listen to these people, Of course upgraded igintion does something, If you have turbo or forced induction and iridium spark plugs, if you dont, it will only help throttle response and Fuel Consomption.

Where else would they go, Under the Valve Cover, and behind the Throttle Body where the Spark Plugs are, they are the wire that HOLDS THE SPARK, THESE PERFORMACNCE WIRES hold MORE POWER, Which makes the SPARK stronger

I changed my wires out and got an extra 6hp on a dyno!!

Wires are those things that "direct ingintion vehicles" don't have. I am sure glad I can upgrade my wires. I just don't understand why Nissan put the distributor in the ****ing trunk though???

But, you could have more power, better mileage and better throttle response if you listen to Mustang drivers...
