Default should i get better spark plug wires for boost?

i went to a local performance shop today and i saw some ractive 8.5 magnetic core wires. they had a display to show the electricity lightning bolt from a spark plug hooked upto some power supply showing a comparison of msd wires and the ractive wires. the ractive wires spark was way more intense then the msd wires. are these wires worth the $60.?

well if the spark plugs arent clean or new, it would be wise to make sure they are new. I'm using the NGK plugs. Some guys like to get it a step colder but I'm just using the stock ones...

yes like stated before keep the stock spark plug wires. Test's have shown that they out peform other aftermarket companies. As for the plugs I would definatly get atleast a degree coler plug for turbo application's. Will run better and safer. Im running ngk bkzre-11. Nick
