Not likely to make a big difference on a stock car. With pretty much any other setup, the difference it makes will depend on many factors, some of which can be controlled to be representative (we can only hope they are, such as plug gap and condition) and some of which will be unique to the car, such as boost level, tune, richness, condition of stock ignition components (coils and wires), etc.

Just got my connectors from the previously mentioned eBay seller. All four have approximately 3.235" sticking out. Three of the four are great, one has had it's clip broken off, but the rubber seal holds it in good enough for now. In fact I have one of the good ones clipped on, and I'm having difficulties getting it off. I'd rather pay $10 to buy a new one than go through the hassle of trying to get a replacement, the seller probably has some used part policy written out anyways.
If anyone's wondering, Toyota apparently wires their ground, trigger, and tachometer with 14 gauge, and the 12v with 12 gauge. I'm not sure if my gauges are right, I measured approximately .0825" for the 12v, and .0620" on the other three. Wikipedia says that's 14 and 12, however I think that doesn't include the insulation.
P.S. while writing this I did finally manage to get it off, had to use a screwdriver while I pinched with my fingers. My thumb now hurts.

I bought mine from the same seller back on Sept. 1 and it was $75 shipped for a set with the Toyota connectors/pigtails. At the time he had sets without the Toyota connectors for $60-ish. Maybe he's seen a spike in demand and raised his price? You could see if he'd bite on a lower offer. If not it might be time to hit up car-part.com or your local yard because $125 is crazy.

I am responding to let you know that you really should go to the meet and greet section before you start posting elsewhere. Also, this is an old and long thread. Have you gone through this thread to see if the answer is in here You should do searches before asking questions. Be patient, there is a lot of useful info in here, but if you break the rules, you will pay a price for it. There is little tolerance of repeated questions that can be easily answered by doing searches here.
Go to the meet and greet. Tell us a little about yourself and car. If you have questions, search first, and then ask questions in the proper section.
Good luck

I know everyone is into DIY solutions for everything but what about this: Boundary Engineering
A little expensive, I know, but seems like a pretty tight system, any opipions?

Just scored four 90080-19015s on Ebay for $60 with free shipping. Cheaper than the local deal. Now, off I go to Ballenger Motorsports to get connectors.
