Firecore50 are the best wires out there period. Do not go with a frpp or msd set if you have to go to taylor wires

http://www.firecore50.com/

You said the "BEST" therefore look to what the guys running promod, NHRA, IHRA, OL10.5 X275 are running thats FIRECORE. FRPP is crap compared to these guys, I had moroso big blues and I even switched over to firecore and i dont put anything but the best of my stuff.

http://www.yellowbullet.com/forum/sh...t+for+firecore

this is a quote from a promod blower racer that sees 40psi + on alcohol which is hard to light at those boost levels.

"Ok guys, this past weekend at Steele, we unload the car and fire it, we have a problem on one of the holes, shut the car off and after careful inspection we find that maybe while unloading the car with wires off we stretched one of my new firecore 50 wires or maybe we damaged it during the thrash the night before testing.. As it has NO OHMS or continuity now. So no problem just swap the wire right.... Well in all the thrash to get the new combination to the track I left my spares at home. SO I started looking for another option. I found a racer who had what I needed and I got one of his MSD 8 mm wires from him. Well, the MSD wire was 30* average cooler in the EGT than the firecore 50 and we had to lean that cylinder out to get the heat back in it.. Call it what you will, but these babies work.. Thanks Rick for a great product. I wont leave home again without my spares.."
