Ohms per foot is a meaningless number. It is measured by a small DC voltage when you use an ohmmeter.
Ohms per foot is used by plug wire manufacturers to try to get you to believe that their wire is better than someone else's.

The power for the spark event is more like AC and it flows over the surface of the core, kind of a cylinder flow.

It would take pretty specialized equipment to measure the power flow in a real spark situation.

Year ago, Circle Track magazine did a plug wire test and the results for new carbon conductor wires (the stock ones most of us consider crap) were indistinguishable from any of the other wires. I seem to remember that all the hp numbers were within the testing error, including solid conductor wires.

Wires add value when they:
1. Last a long time
2. Withstand reasonable handling and operating abuse
3. Control RFI so your other electronics aren't affected.

Exactly right....everything else is just salesman voodoo...

Well that may be true but fuel teams can use MSD wires for FREE while they pay hundreds for a set of Firecore50 wires.
Now I will admit Rick is a pretty good salesman but if his wires weren't head and shoulders above the rest they wouldn't be on the car
