Firecore 50 wires
Anyone else using these? Just installed a set last night from Carlye Racing. So far so good. Fit was good. Nice positive locking engagement.
I did the promod boots which seem nice. The stock heat shields don't fit the promod boots, but Carlye assured me they are made for high heat and won't be an issue.
Can't say I've ever had spark issues, but so far so good. I would recommend them to anyone who wants to spend more money on plug wires. They definately feel more solid than the stock delco wires, taylor wires, autozone wires, or MSD wires I have laying around.

I have them and my observations are exactly like yours. I don't think you can find anything nicer that would give you more confidence that those. One thing I hated the most with every other wire I tried was the inconsistent click when trying to install.

A friend just ordered a set. Some of his nitrous customers use them and have taken them on and off several times without an issue. That's promising in itself. I've pitched several 100-150 dollar sets of wires because they'd never hold together.

Best wires out there imo.

Fire core is a nice product, the wires we have been using on the higher HP cars/half mile cars are the Accel wires with the ceramic plug boot. They can literally lay on the header without a problem.
I honestly can't believe I like an Accel product after using their stuff in the 80's... but they work really good and are fairly reasonably priced at near stock.
