Plug wires
 

What brand and size of wire works best with an HEI ignition with a msd box.Anyone notice hp or longevity diff between brands.Thanks in advance.

I like MSD and Moroso. There are too many variables that dictate the life of plug wires.

These are the best wires I have ever used.

Hello. Our FireCore50 Performance Ignition Wires are being used on some of the quickest cars in the world. Don Schumacher cars are using them. Cory Mac's, Ron Capps, Beckmans.all with great results. They are all locked in the Top Ten Playoff for the season. Tim Wilkerson won twice in a row using them. We are used on some of the quickest ADRL cars. Here are some pics.

We have them on Points leaders in nearly a dozen facets of racing. Pro Stock Bike, Pro Mod Bike, Pro Extreme, Top Dragster, T/S. Our customer, Alex Denysenko, just clinched his IHRA Div 5 Super Stock Division Championship.

They are lasting longer than anything our customers have previously used.

Re: Plug wires
 

For sportsman combinations, I like the MDS 8.5 wires.

My preference is buying the wire sets that only have the spark plug ends attached. This allows a tidy custom fit by crimping the distributor end to the exact length for my needs.

In addition, I have used the Moroso equivalent wire with the same good results.

And this personal comment, I think the absolute most important issue with spark plug wires is careful attention to detail, careful crimping, careful routing. Every effort must be made to keep them away from exhaust contact.

In addition, do not overlook the coil wire and any distributor trigger wires.

The secondary coil wire should as short as practical. And the "trigger wires" should be routed as far away as possible from the secondary wiring.

I do not know about a perf advantage from one manufacturer to another but the MSD boots are the best I have seen.I have a turbo street car and the wires come off without sticking every time.

Re: Plug wires
 

Thats not the case with a lot of other full race cars. Whether it be Top Fuel, Baha, 4x4, or anything that can tire shake terminals or boots off. The T/F teams like our magneto boots better than the other guys. They are tougher and have a higher di-electric capability than what they were using. All Mag44's use a locking top on top of the Mag as well. They do like the boots.. To each his own. I know we haven't been out on the public market very long, but every single T/F , Pro Mod, T/S, APBA, Pro Stock bike that has tried them, are running them, every weekend, And giving up the contingency checks.. www.customwiresets.com

We are going on the dyno in Nov for 2 days with the superstocker,I would be willing to try a set back to back with our MSD.s and send copies of dyno sheets.If they show hp I would take 2 sets and post results on this board.Thanks in advance.

Re: Plug wires
 

Sounds great. We have done this test dozens of times, but we'll do it again. Where is the engine dyno ? What engine ? What is your projected horsepower ? Any past dyno's from this same engine and combo ? How old are your wires ? Phil Shuler ,from Schumacher Racing , has been showing everyone who wants to see, our wires completely outspark what they were using, and they are getting more runs out of them, on all of their Top Fuel cars. Tony Shoe, Cory Mac, Beckman, Capps. Tim Wilkerson as well.

Re: Plug wires
 

FYI - look at these wires. I have used them in both Stock & Superstock. I've heard all the arguments as to why they can't or shouldn't work. But I've proven it on the engine dyno on my own engines and have seen the same results on other engines (dyno verified with A-B-A testing). The trend with these wires are a small HP (avg) increase of 1.5-2.5 below 6500, maybe 6800 RPM. After that, huge increases. Laugh all you want but when I say huge, I'm talking 15+ HP. It will require refinements in the a/f and / or timing.

I recently purchased a complete ICE ignition system, the 10 amp unit. Waiting for the engine to be machined to test. I have no verifiable info on this ignition.

Jeff you have a PM

Re: Plug wires
 

We had a pretty good showing this weekend for two of our racers. Matt Smith #1 qualifier in ProStock Bike, and Tony Schumacher won in Top Fuel Dragster. Plus all of our Top Fuel customers are in the top 10 in points. .Both using "old" sets of our wires. Matt's have been on their since the seasons beginning. Here is the Sarge's shot. I think its a friends kid.
