Nah, tried bell wire but found speaker wire better if both wires are twisted together to form 1 wire. Also by twisting the wire it reduces interferance on my radio

You can also run 5mm gaps on your plugs if you use the good quality stuff from B&Q

My Bosch ones from Halfords work fine for well over 300bhp, along with my standard Ford spark plugs
