Doubt it. I have never heard of a gain of 20hp from plug wires. I had Nology Hotwires on my '04 that cost me 160 and there was no "big" increase in power.

It's the yellow that gives the 20hp increase. The wires themselves only give (un-noticably) smoother acceleration. You can't get that kind of power out of black wires!
