It all depends on what coil you have and what is driving the coil.

Whether it is MS1 or MS2 doesn't matter.

The less resistance in the plugs and wires will cause ringing in the coil that will in turn drive your radio and the radio in the car next to you nuts. As far as I know resistor pulgs have no downside.

If you use resistor leads you would be right I'd say, just don't use metal core spark leads with non-resistor plugs and you'll be right..
