Default Nology & Magnecor

Do these fancy-pants aftermarket ignition wires actually produce noticeable performance gains? Or do they just look cool?

For the price they charge, I'd want real gains, but I have a hard time (perhaps because of my science background) buying their hypotheses and noticeable lack of supporting data.

Default For the 2.8's, the Nology wires work well; I noticed no real benefit from the Magnecors . . .

I went with a very expensive set of rare Bosch Ultra Premiums that performed wonderfully, but they cost almost as much as the Nologys, IIRC.

So, as I have gone through OEM's, Magnecors, Bosch Ultra Premiums, and Nologys, I have to say that the Nologys did produce noticeably better combustion--the car felt stronger. However, the Bosch lasted the longest and performed very consistently.
