Abstract: An ignition cable constructed according to a method for optimizing an ignition cable, the cable including at least a capacitor, where the ignition cable carries current from a power source to a spark plug located in a combustion chamber. The ignition cable includes a center element structured to communication electric current from the power source to the sparkplug and an insulator surrounding the center element. The conductor is removably coupled to a ground, and surrounds at least a portion of the insulator. The center element, insulator and conductor form a capacitor having an optimal capacitance value that is determined by finding a maximum capacitance value and subtracting a safety margin.
