After making the change you could actually feel the difference in performance which surprised me. I was curious so I cut two identical pieces of the MSD and Excell Pro Stock and tested them for resistance. Don't recall the exact numbers but the MSD wire resistance was a small fraction of the Accel. Highly recommended if you are upgrading your plug wires.
Must have had some faulty wires.

I've have run the Accel 150 ohm wires, and the MSD wires.

I doubt whether anybody could tell the difference between 50 and 150 ohms, considering normal stock wires are 3k - 8k ohms per foot.
