Product advisory - Magna Core Wires SUCK

Dont use the magna core evo 8 0r IX red spark plug wires - they dont fit on the plug properly

They create many miss fires

The stock wires are better and work find up to 700 whp

Thanks Al

Yeah my car kept misfireing after 20 psi cause the plug wires wouldnt stay connected properly. Went back to stock and have no problems.

I switched from MagnaCore to stock on the Dyno and gained 3 whp and had a smoother HP curve with the stock plug wires. I agree with Al.

I dont care who sells these

They never fit tight on the plug and create misfires

I only care that my customer's cars run properly

I hate spedning tuning time diagnosing problems that can be avoided

Al,


If someone wanted to go with a set of aftermarket plugs, which set would you recommend? Thanks

Spark plugs are the plugs

Wires are what i am talking about

There are only two out of 4 you can replace on an evo

I would keep them stock buyt if you just cant live without the LOOK of having some colored wired the Ralliart ones are at least functional

I meant spark plug wires not the plugs my fault. Just curious to see what some of the vendors that are running over 700whp are using.
