Default Spark Plug Change Advise

Hi All

I am upto changing the spark plugs on my hemi 5.7l 08 durango.. thinking of something with better fuel effeciency and some HPs. any recommendations most appriciated.

BTW anything which works with OEM coils & does not break any other system (coil over loaded etc..)..

Thanks

I use a hotter plug because of the tuner, ported heads and camshaft that I am running. I do not think a platinum or iridium sparkplug will be noticeable compared to copper in a stock engine. It would not hurt to upgrade.

The Hemi has 16 sparkplugs. One on the combustion side and one on the exhaust side for each cylinder.
