The SR wires are Special "Splitfire" wires from Japan. They are different from the "Splitfire" wires available in the USA.

They are higher quality and a slightly different design.

They should have less resistance than the stock wires, which should give you a bigger spark. They should also put off less interferance than the stock wires (Important if you have a big stereo system).

But I have been told by one source that increasing the spark does little to increase HP or efficiency. I thought about these wires as well but after what I read, I starting doubting. How effective is upgrading to thise wires?

Sparkplug wires to not make HP. Never will. Any claims that they do, their smoking dope. Sell them your nearest bridge.

What a quality set of wires will do, is make sure that as much of the electricity as possilble goes from the coil to the plug.

If you have bad wires, you can loose HP, but changing to quality wires will not MAKE HP, just give you the HP you lost, back.
