Default Time to tune up the Hemi.

I am starting to research parts for tuning up my 2006 5.7 Hemi. I priced the NGK2313 IX Iridium premium spark plugs and HOLY SHIITE. almost $20 a pop and I need 16. What other options are you guys using? Looking for some suggestions.

I've heard that the regular cheap copper plugs work better with the Hemi's than the expensive ones do.

they were exactly $47.98 from www.airram.com. $23.99 for a set of 8. i also picked up a set of shorty wires. he is a great guy to deal with. there was a slight mix up with his distributors when i ordered mine during the holidays (almost to be expected). but, he was up front, and honest about what happened and got them out to me asap. the honesty about it all is what made it all better for me. i will definitely be making future purchases through him in the future. maybe hell even get me a discount on a diablosport predator i hope

Plulled my Champs out at 41,600 and they looked good. Replaced them with the OEM at $2.00 each.

Nope, no problem on mine at 40K. The only thing I noticed were what appeared to be arc rings on the outside, near the bottom of the boot. Coulda just been dirt and oil buildup too.
