And be kind to your neighbors!!!!

Interference will not only be confined to your vehicle.  So sitting at a 
traffic 
light you can
bother other vehicles surrounding yours too.  If you are using the vehicle 
solely on the track
and need every last bit of spark energy then use solid wires in that controlled 
environment.
If your vehicle is a street car please stick with the carbon core cables.

NFI in any cable manufacturer but a personal interest in noise levels as it 
effects my "Ham"
radio and also the broadcast, AM, band where I listen to traffic reports in the 
New York City
area.
