Ive always been a big MSD fan, they seem to be one of the best. I have also heard good things about the magna core though....
The nology wires are just redicoulously (sp) expensive, and i can't see what the hell is so great about them
I think it might be a rice thing

Plus I heard the Nologys are junk anyway. The MSDs have a better resistance rating than most others and are cheaper.

For the long haul, ..the "Magna Cores" hold up real good The MSD's are great for the high reving drag& track applacations or so Ive been told I dont want to be worring about the plugs all the time so I just went with the magna cores

Anyone using Tylor (used in everyday/racing applications), and Thundervolts (I think these are made by Magnacore) ??? I've read some good info on these too. So while we're comparing brands, plz share any info/feed back on these also...
