Are these worth the cash? I have a Vortech S trim going on and was wondering if anybody uses them. They say they give you up to 35HP on a supercharged car by providing about 40,000 more volts over the stockers. Any truth to this, should i get them?

Look at the link about the Accel COP's and you might want to consider those. They are cheaper and also the company has a way better reputation than GMS

I was reading a bit more on them. Looks like you get the big gains of up to 35 hp on a boosted car if you get their coils along with the connectors. But thats $500. For $100 you get only the connectors (plug wires) and supposedly installing just those you are supposed to get around 8hp.

I would not believe any specs Granatelli posts. Up to now, the only thing I've read about their products is that they're total crap.

One of the mustang magazines recently had an article testing aftermarket cop setups and there are some decent gains to be had on s/c'ed cars (15hp) if my mind serves me correctly

That may be true, but you have to take those reviews and results with a proverbial "grain of salt."

Look at the independent results from people on the net when they tested the Typhoon intake. Minimal, if any gains, and more losses than anything overall. One mag produced 25 HP gain or so?

Paying advertisers always seem to get good results in the mags. Buyer beware.

Yeah, I wont be wasting my cash on those. I just went thru a 40 page thread on another site about these. And the owner of granatelli is on there too. The one test an independent guy did, the mofo sold his results too mmff mag and wasnt allowed to post his own *****ing results. Idiots. And I cant remember if it was him or a different guy that tried the wires with the coils on a s/c'd car and got 8HP. Not worth $500 in my opinion.

Here is the link if it comes thru:

I bought and installed just the connectors for $100 since I'm NA. The connectors have been verified to be near 0 resistance independently. Not sure where the thread is, but I saw a pic of the actual test. The stock spring connection in there looks terrible compared to the GMS version. Not sure that Granatelli could mess up the connectors.

The cop's, I can't say anything about, other than months ago, I saw many supercharger applications getting very nice gains on dynos, independently run. I can't say anything about their longevity, they've just come out within the last 6+months I believe.
