I think this has a good start going. I have a HEMI and have been curious about upgraded my cables as well but dont know what kind to use. I want to upgrade the wires and plugs but dont know what combo to go with.

I dont understand? what cables are you talking about? The HEMI has coil with plugs right underneath them. no cap and rotor with wires. are you talking about new coil wires?

the newer rams, i believe 06 and up have just coils, the older ones have coils, then a wire that goes from the coil to another plug. the stock cables run back and forth across the top of the engine under the hemi hat. the taylor shorty cables run from the coil, to the plug right next to it.

I have an 04' hemi and i just replaced my cables with another set of mopar cables. Can't go wrong with them. Along with the cables, i changed the plugs w/ mopar plugs, changed the pcv, and started using a mopar oil filter. I felt a big difference afterwards. Well, thats my 2 cents....

I have a 05 1500 with 5.7 Hemi and want to use a great cable that will last for awhile and I have around 39000 miles on the truck.
