Good guy alert - Firecore-50 - 02/17/10 11:02 PM

Rick at Firecore came through with custom wires for my pump gas, coil-near-plug Hemi. The wires came on Friday the 12th and my first pass with the new motor was on Monday the 15th.

I was happy with a 7.65 @ 174 MPH considering this is a 10.8:1 motor running 91 octane fuel.

Thanks Rick

Meh. Gorski's a punk. just out to make a buck. all talk and hype, little to no action.

(if he shows up at Mikes this weekend, then I respectfully retract my statement!

Just kidding. I'm happy with the plug wires I bought from him, sent him my old originals and he copied them for me, since they're all "custom length" and a mix-match of 90 degree and 180 degree boots.

great product, great service!

I noticed a huge difference just hearing my R5 run mid range and up top. It seemed crisp....

Great guy!!!! Keep up the good work Rick!!!!

Thats realing hauling Hemi, Rich. Thanks for the opportunity once again. It worked out perfect.

Richj, are those MSD coil packs? Very nice. Are they hotter than the more commonly used LS1 coils? Very nice looking dragster.

Rick is ok by me, times 3. I think I have his original 8mm Fire Core wires from over 4 years ago. Got them at Carlisle. In fact. I think he only sold 4 sets that very first year. H included a cold beer. That sealed the deal for me..

Yes, the MSD coils run higher in energy, and they have the multi-spark electronics built in. I measured the spark energy when I was writing my Hemi book and they came in at 170 mJ, with an MSD 6AL at about 100 mJ.

Rick is truly a rare breed. Sells parts that actually work and have quality. Customer service is second to none and I've enjoyed several conversation regarding our projects. Keep up the good work Rick!
