I would say 'not very much' Kev.  Roll Eyes

If leads will fit the 131 Racing then they should also fit all of the cars listed in the first advert. There's probably a difference in the spec of the actual core of the lead, but that shouldn't make a difference of two and half times the price Shocked

The dearer ones are the 'named brand' to have apparently, however I doubt you would notice much if any difference on an engine. The Magnecor leads are often used in the fast Ford world on RS turbos and Cosworths etc.
