depends on how new your wires are....mine were almost 10 years old over 100,000 miles and i could see all 8 it looked cool because the coil packs would send the pulses and there was like a 1/4" to 1/2" gap inbetween the pulses it looked really cool i dont think my new wires have wore out yet maybe ill throw some of the old ones on and see if i can get a video. its pretty neat.
