Ignition Wires

i thought this would be an easy buy haha. right now im looking at NGK wires and MSD wires....the NGK wires on suprasport.com are about 65 bucks, but have 8k ohms per ft of resistance...however, the MSD wires on titanmotorsports have about 50 ohms (not thousand...just 50) per foot, and 1500 ohms of suppression (whatever the hell that is, and whatever the difference in the rating and coming up with 50 and 1500), and theyre 8.5mm...but 90 bucks. and they dont have any rubber boots falling off, like someone said happens to the NGK wires.

does the difference between the resistance of the wires really matter *that* much? if it does, ill get the MSDs....or if the MSDs are just that much better anyways. ive already commited to NGK iridiums, and i need wires to accompany.

oh, and on a side note...blocking off the EGR valves with the plates? whats the pros and cons to doing that?
