They are just wires, the msd will work fine and for 60$ they are also pretty cheap. Here's an example: http://blackhaloracing.com/products-...d-plug-wires3/

^ Wires aren't just wires (quality/density of conductor and insulation), but there's also no reason to spend a fortune on them. NGK and MSD are quality wires.

The BHR ignition system comes with MSD, so ......

We did a comparison of wires a while back and the only difference in the MSD and the Magnacore is the external cover. the internals (wire/core/wrap) are the same. That is why we offer the choice. Plus one is blue and one is red.

Ok but would you agree that getting the magnacore 10mm wire would be better than the 8.5 msd

And they're legal in california too!
Plus Ferrets are rather expensive, they should be used in exotic cars only.
