I have MSDs on both my motors. Both sets are 10+ years old and have been great...thinking I'll be changing them soon. I'll be putting a set of Taylors on the hemi...used them before and liked them.
I will only buy wires I can cut and fit myself. Can't do that w/ Firecores.

Firecores now, had msd 8.5 both good wires. Had rfi issues with the ultra 40 wires and my progressive controller. Put aluminum plate on it moved it in between my seats and nothing helped. Changed wires fixed.

Just send in the set you made and they will copy that perfectly. They do make a nice set of wires.

FWIW...my dad got a set of Firecores for his 440-6 road runner. They were supposed to be custom fit for his motor and header combination...some too short, some too long.
I'll stick w/ making them myself and not hassle w/ shipping old wires back-n-forth and having downtime.

Have never had a failure with the Magnecores.


I used magnecore when I went EFI but then for turbo I needed to route them all underneath so needed (custom) longer- went with firecore and very happy with them, came built just like I ordered them.

Don't waste your time on the jegs brand tried them and they took a crap after about 2 months

I have used Taylor and Moroso wires and liked both. I really like the Firecore wires I have on my eng now. They are for your standard 440 and they fit great as all my wires were the perfect lenth and they have been holding up great since 2011 when they went on. Ron
