MSD's for me last for years no problem. But then again , these were on a racecar, so that may have help them last too.

Firecore will custom build the wire set for your engine, just fill out the form with type of ends & lengths .

Regardless who makes them, I assemble my own wires to get the fit that I want. Every situation is different with headers, accessories, etc., and it's easy to do. Doesn't require hundreds of dollars worth of tools.
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

For me this is always the answer Thats great I used to do that, but now I measure out each wire to fit how I want them routed, order them & they come with #'s on them & nice factory crimped ends ready to install.

100% Firecore! I've had them on my last 5 cars and love them. Perfect fit every time and excellent quality.

I bought some firecore and they don't fit worth a $%*^.They wanted me to measure the lengths and if I was going to do that I would have bought ultra 40

For what it's worth my 6AL MSD box (nothing special) has been pushing spark through a stock distributor and cheap Summit wires through e85 and 20+psi of boost for 6 years now. Don't get too hung up on the decision. If it were up to me out of those two I'd pick the fire cores as I know they fit good and Rick seems to stand behind his product. But if it were me, I'd save the $50 and buy the summit ones. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-889004
