Are these BadBoys worth the money? If anyone knows please lemme know.
Have you had any problems. i.e. melting pistons and things like that.

Thanks.

I've got one on the Raptor. Not sure about the actual power gain as I installed it when I built the motor. From talking with the guys that have dyno'ed w/Nology and 686 they picked up 1-2 hp. All I know for sure is that it looks cool with the ground strap! I will put some pics up on the website tonight.

BTW: You are going to have a tough time melting a piston with just a plug wire change, you've got to remember we have four strokes not two!

Zom.,
Get me some info on that plug wire and I'll try it out myself. I'm not worried about it melting down my piston.

There supposed to increase your spark up to 300% and add like 3ponnies. From what Zombie told me you have to rejet.

You may or may not have to rejet, really all depends on your setup. Dyno is the only true way to tell. The wire has a capacitor inline that helps to enhance the spark. Nology Hot Wires

zrwhat, i remember when you were thinking about it, now that you are using them do you think they actually make a noticable difference?

Hey vraptor. I installed the wire the same time I built the 686, so I don't really have anything to go by. I still have the old plug wire, I may bring it along the next time I run it on a Dyno just to see.
