Hope this helps

Thanks for answering Mike, that was really nice!

Today I went to the track and tested both TQ 16 gauge and 13 gauge.
I could not really notice any difference at all.
I really thought I would notice some difference and that the speedo would run a little cooler with the thicker wire, but it was exactly the same.

So I will now use the 16 gauge as it's lighter and flexier :0)

Thanks again,
Eirik
