ok, here are some[;)]:
our 1988 BMW 525i has fiber optic ignition wires: standard 170hp, now 180 (0-100km/h:normal:10.8, now: 9.7secs)
our 1988 JEEP Cherokee has fiber optic ignition wires, standard 171hp, now 185hp.
these things give quite some torque also (very noticable) plus there is a very very noticable difference in running/souplesse of the engine.

I know you're going to ask for a dynotest, but I don't have one, but I can tell you one thing, these things really really give difference.

regards,

matteus
