Reference Circle Track Magazine, May 1996, P. 48-54. Please also note that some of these wires may emit electrical interference which may cause problems with newer computer controlled vehicles, especially those with performance modifications and aftermarket amplified stereo systems. Specifically the Nology Hotwires Race. Also note that the Magnecor 8.5mm competition is designed to offer enhanced noise suppression over their already suppressed 8mm wire. These considerations may or may not be concerns for your particular situation, consult the manufacturer for assistance.
* Price based on a four cylinder 1986 Isuzu Impulse JR, others may cost less due
to commonality.
# Wires tested using a Tandy Digital Multi-Meter.
