that's snake oil salesmanship....
C'mon Wayne....you're better than that. That comment was uncalled for !
I've personally seen what Rick has described regarding the leaning out on a buddies car with my LM1 installed. The idle AFR leaned out when we installed a set of the 8.5's and we had to adjust the main jetting as well. The plugs stay clean now and the car runs soo much better. Going off memory we went up 2 sizes on all 4 corners....it's been awhile, can't remember for sure ?
Does that make me a snake oil salesman as well ? Was I a snake oil salesman when i promoted your supertuning video on another website. I hope not because that link is still stickied and when members open up that subforum the link to your product is right at the top of page 1.
I bought your CD and reviewed it....then recommended it to the members because i felt it was an excellent learning tool and still is. I feel the same about the Firecore product and hundreds of members who've purchased them report excellent results. My own personal experience with Firecore made me a believer. My current set is 5yrs old and still going strong.
It's unfortunate that a few who have had some bad issues with split plug boots are quick to condemn the product as a whole. There are better boots available now than in the past and Rick is allways willing to update as needed. You can't beat the customer service and willingness to bend over backwards.
The high HP power adder guys on the bullet have been very pleased with their results using FireCore 50 wires. I think their "testimonials" count for something...don't you ?
Personally, i don't have a problem with anyone voicing their opinion on a product but when insults are thrown around that's a little over the top for me.
Ron
Ron, you're a great guy, and I THANK you for helping me promote my DVD...
It blows me away that a plug wire company can continually make claims like that but has no real, solid proof...and still has done absolutely nothing to prove (or even disprove) that claim...
Like I said...I'm sure they're as good as any other wire...prolly even better at most at keeping RFI down...and customer service is really good too...but claims without backup and just a "gut feeling" just makes no sense to me...
If they could prove that, Hot Rod would be all over it...
If you ask anyone that's run them on a Dyno, the most they claim is 1hp, which would be pretty hard to quantify...2-4 jet numbers should result in more HP than that...that's at least .5 to one full point A/F change....
I'd try a set to see if the A/F changes, but I'm pretty sure I know what'll happen so I'm not spending the money...
What kind of wires were on your buddy's car? We're they worn out? I've swapped wires before and made cars run better too...
If you can't handle the truth, you're living a lie.......

Hey now, we now have Vids of pinion angle differences to view on moparts Vids not Pics.
This Wire thread is getting boring. I suggest we switch to a Pinion angle debate with the Vids VS the PICS.
The 509, no, Lets jump to the MP 590, great cam.
