Hee hee hee, should'nt have kept my mouth shut all this time!  Hee hee hee!
Laugh.  BWAHAHA!  Sorry, I just love it - Nology wires suck.  The
"capacitor" is simply a wire braid.  Hee hee hee!  Ok, I'll shut up........

 John told us that

Miata people have seen losses on the dyno, too.  Neons have had mysterious
brain box failures after installing them (no proof that they're related,
but a few cars have had the wires installed ---> box dies, while box
failures are not common on the Neon).  FWIW.  I'm not surprised that the
response/idle improved, but I am surprised that there was no gain.  I
figured a little, anyhow (more than .5 - this could simply be a variable of
warmer gear oil on the second pull, something like that).  Anyhow.  Grin,
SOMEDAY, I'll be telling you of the cool ignition I have on my car which
shows a *real* 3.5% gain on the dyno.  I've had it a while, but it is not
"ready" for production yet.  Sigh.  Someday.  OK, so, glad we have the
Nology mystery cleared up!  Power losses, eh?  Hmmm.  Hope this saved
someone some cash!
