Spiral wire or graphite core ignition wires?

Does anybody currently use spiral core ignition wires? If so, have you heard any noise coming from the radio? Are they just as quiet as graphite core wires for elecrical noise suppression? If so, what's a good brand? Blue Max, Accel, etc.?

I have moroso 8mm spiral wound wires. I hooked them up with an msd box and got radio interference. The msd box I have, (model 6a) doesn't do ****. I actually lost some low end with it in, and my gas mileage was down 3 mpg. Took out the box, kept the wires, no radio probs, low end is back, mileage is up again.

For that matter, has anyone tried solid core wires on a TPI motor? I'm debating what I should use on mine. Most people will claim that solid core is too noisy for EFI, but my old Cosworth Vega had a set of them and there was no radio noise or any EFI problems that I was aware of.
