hey guys just wondering what size leads would be the best to go on a vn 5litre? Current ones r small and havent been changed in a while, what size would use recommend? Looking at a mates vn the other day hes got 10mm ICE leads on. Would they be to big or are they still okay to use? My motor is standard no head work or anything.

10mm are a complete waste of money, u need serious power and ignition to be close to making use of that.. just use standard bosches or 8mm's at best, any difference you feel, (trust me), will all be in your head

Mild head work, cam, gears, zorst, tremec 5spd, im making roughly 170rwkw. i have 10mm ICE leads. Is that a waste and should i revert back to 8mm or not?? thanks for ur advice,

Is that a waste and should i revert back to 8mm or not?? thanks for ur advice, if you've already bought them then theres no point changing... but there was no need to buy 10mm leads.. they're for the high end systems like motec/msd/crane e.t.c with big spark.. 8mm is more than enough.. tho i have 10mm leads myself so i cant whinge Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
