Do Performance Wires Make a Difference?

How's it going? I'm about to place an order for some new Motorcraft wires, and I was just wondering if there is any need to "upgrade" to performance wires. All I have is K&N and a Magnaflow cat-back. Nothing spectacular. I just changed my plugs to new Motorcrafts and thought I might as well change my wires as well. I previously had those $100 Denso Iridiums, but I didnt see much of a difference. Actually had a few misses here in there. Ford Racing, Taylor, MSD, Accel? I don't mind spending extra if there is a noticeable difference, but for the most part the only difference I've read around here is that it looks cool because it's blue. What do you guys think? Thanks...

From my experience, performance wires are necessary only if you have done some other ignition modifications. I have never noticed any difference on stock applications. Get good ones, though.

go stock. the engine computer is very sensitive. aftermarket stuff never works right in these engines.

Alright, order submitted. I can get really indecisive about things. I'll sit in front of say the Automotive aisle at Target and take forever to pick out a simple wax or a leather cleaner. Thanks again guys.
