Default ford racing wires

Long story short. I ordered new ford racing 9mm plug wires to replace the roush wires it came with. I was told the ford racing wires were a direct replacement. I checked the resistance in in both sets of wires. The old roush wires were ~400 ohms. The new ford wires measured ~4000 ohms. I thought I would see more resistance on the old wires???? Is this difference enough to worry about?

Appreciate the help. Mike
This is ironic i just changed mine this week also, what i did not like is that the ford wires are too long on a couple of cylinders and have this ugly hump in wire routers , I am trying to find original MSD wires now they fit perfect . Dont be suprised you will have too drill wire routers (holders) for the larger wire
