| The Wire: VITEK
Ultra Series Braided spark plug wires are manufactured with
our unique stainless steel wire wound ("Mag Wire") conductor
with a Dupont Kevlar® core for superior pull strength.
The conductor is insulated with an extrusion of pure gold silicone
then braided with fiberglass to achieve ultimate mechanical
strength of the finished product. The wire goes through a second
extrusion of pure silicone to a finished diameter of 6mm, 8mm,
or 9mm depending on the original equipment requirements. It
should be noted that this construction offers superior dielectric
properties and capacitance over larger diameter wires offered
by some manufacturers as a marketing gimmick. Oversize wires
often do not fit the original looms making routing a problem
as well as not providing the proper fit for the boots and terminals.
Larger diameter wires offer virtually no dielectric advantage
and many disadvantages. Vitek Ultra Series Braided spark plug
wires offer maximum protection for the on-board computers and
recorders drivers are using on today's race and street driven
cars. Vitek wires have been rigorously tested with high-energy
systems on street racers, NASCAR, and drag racecars. Vitek
wires are triple insulated which allows the user to run extreme
ignition upgrades as well as audio upgrades without experiencing
engine noise through the stereo amplifiers and speakers. Vitek
Ultra Series Braided ignition wires are rated at 850 ohm per
foot. Our plug wire warranty is also second to none. The first
year is repair or replace unconditionally and from that point
forward they are warranted for life with a $50.00 deductible.

The VITEK Braid : As
most people know, horsepower equals heat therefore greater
horsepower produces higher engine compartment temperatures.
The VITEK Ultra Series Braided ignition wire braid has been
tested to resist engine temperatures up to 1200º F. This
is what makes our VITEK ignition cables the very best. Normal
standard silicone wires will withstand temperatures of about
500º F. This is less than half of our VITEK braid. Most
manufacturers use either EPDM (Vinyl/Plastic) or a silicone
EPDM blend as the sleeve of the spark plug wire. We use 100%
gold silicone for the sleeve and the jacket. Then we go one
step further and install the heat resistant colored VITEK braid.
The VITEK Ultra Series Braided ignition wires are handcrafted
which produce a far superior product. Available colors are Red , Yellow,
Blue, Green, Purple, White, Black, or Silver . Because
of the very long life of the Vitek Ultra Series Ignition Wires,
sometimes performance enthusiasts are interested in a new look
under their hood. Vitek Performance offers complete re-braiding
on any set of Vitek Ultra Series Ignition Wires in any available
color for only $55 ºº per set plus shipping. Simply
send in your wires and Vitek Performance Products will make
them look like new.
The Terminals : VITEK
Ultra Series Braided spark plug wire quality is continued at
the ignition cable terminal. The terminals are made of 100%
stainless steel as opposed to zinc plated steel or bare steel
with no plating which most manufacturers use to cut costs.
The use of Stainless Steel prevents premature failure of the
wire set by eliminating terminal corrosion. The spark plug terminals incorporate
an extra long crimp area, which increases terminal pull off strength to over
50 pounds. This is twice the strength of most ignition wires
on the market. Terminal pull off is the number one cause of
claimed defective wire sets. A high-grade steel snap ring is
designed into the terminal, which not only ensures a positive
connection but also eliminates an area of possible electronic
interference generation. In addition, where a bent terminal
is required, VITEK uses a terminal bent to the shape of the
boot rather than a straight terminal forced through a 90º degree
boot as seen in many of our competitor's products. While our
terminals are as much as three times the price of those used
by our competitors, the contribution to a superior finished
product far exceeds the investment.
The Boots : VITEK Ultra Series Braided spark plug wire cable boots exceed original equipment
requirements and are designed to original equipment shapes for ease of installation
and superior fit. Our spark plug boots are made of pure high-grade silicone
so as to withstand the high heat conditions encountered with high performance
engines in modern engine compartments. Straight spark plug boots are of an extra
heavy-duty finger pull design. Both in appearance and function, these boots
are as good as it gets.
WARRANTY: VITEK Ultra Series Braided spark
plug wire sets are guaranteed to the original consumer purchaser
for the life of the vehicle on which they were originally installed.
