how about 0.0001 kw ehehehe, i've got them but don't have dyno result, it does "feel" the respond is a bit better, but it could be my imagination after spending the money.

The one i've got are 8.5mm which i was told the biggest it will fit to a FTO, the stock one are 5mm.

there is the potential for gains but they'll be small... if you do notice a gain your original leads were probably worn out and not functioning properly anyways... (or so i've been told is the main reason)...

if you couple new leads with larger coils and other bits you may get more power again...

its all a bit hard to say without a dyno result... i'd be skeptical of claims made by companies... but there is the possibility of gains by replacing worn cables

The leads themselves are not expensive
About $134 from Autobarn

But I suppose fitting them is a different story...
