Anyone have Electro-magnetic interference with MSD wires?

I put MSD wires on my 02 WS6. Cranked it up and drove it around for about 15 mins. I noticed a difference in throttle response immediately. I turned up the radio and noticed a ticking noise. As a accelerated, the noise got faster and louder. So i got home, put the stock wires back on. Problem fixed. Reinstalled the MSD wires and it started back.

Anyone else have this problem? I called MSD and he told me that i would have to send the wires back to them for warranty inspection. AND THE COMPANY I WORK FOR IS ONE OF THE LARGEST MSD DISTRIBUTORS IN THE SOUTHEAST! You think they would try to help me out. But i was just curious to see if im the only one. Later...
