Default Doing plugs and wires... Recommendations needed

I am soon going to be doing the plugs and wires on my 03. I guess im going to pick up a Haynes manual unless someone can get me an FSM. Im wondering what brand to go with and also a general overview of the level of difficulty of this on the Hemi. I take it the coil packs remove somehow and then you just get out the U-Joint sockets and go to town?

I saw a tuneup kit at Moes Performance... buti wasnt sure which one to pick or if that was the best price.

Thanks for the info

Get the Haynes manual only if you have a bird. Yep, pull the coil packs, then blow out any trash around the plug so it doesn't fall into the cylinder. The back four plugs are a bear compared the the front twelve. I used NGK 5306s on mine. Figure about three hours for the plug change. Folks like Taylor wires -- MSD are pretty good, too, from what I've read. Some use the "shorties", but mostly for the looks of the engine bay. I'll use standard length wires when the time comes. 8.2 mm wires fit the loom and 8.5s are apparently a squeeze. I paid $28.80 for sixteen NGK plugs. I see MSD red wires for around $90
