Talking Evosport Performance Ignition Stage I V8

I have for sale a brand new kit of Evosport Performance Ignition Stage I that I never used.
Included in Stage I are Evosport 8mm Performance Ignition Wires and colder Irdium/Platinum spark plugs. Gains of better response, smoother acceleration, and up to 10hp at the wheels can be expected depending on the motor, modicifications, and mileage. This kit is for all CLK 1998+ V8's, might work on other V8's
Paid $729, my loss is your gain, buy it for $500 + paypal and shipping

With all due respect, you may want to be careful with that claim. Even with engine performance modifications, the spark plugs and wires alone will not add such gains.

I'm only stating that because I had that exact setup in the past along with many engine performance mods. Fuel efficiency / better MPG may be noticeable. But wheel horsepower from that won't happen.

Agreed!

I have 8.5mm Magnecor wires and hp gain is not noticed. Smoother running and slightly better response, as for mpg? I'm having too much fun with my foot to the floor to notice!...

Didn't Evosport go Out of Business? Your link is from a 2004 thread, just saying.

I used that link because that is when Evosport R&D came up with the Performance Ignition series for the CLK's.

Seems expensive for plugs and wires.

+1 - I doubt it will change much of anything.
