Question Spark Plugs

I heard that copper plugs are great for the Hemi, so my question is what brands are good since I can't get champions here unless i order them and that takes a week or 2.

I agree with Redone, If you can't get the Champs,which is really hard to believe, Then NGK are really good ones. As far as what I said about being hard to believe,not calling you a lie, its just that I thought everybody carried Champions.

Get yourself a set of NGK stock #5306 for stock applications. use stock # 4306 (one heat range cooler) for modded engines. The 4306 works fantastic with DS or Superchip and 91 or 93 octane tunes, nitrous or forced air systems.

the champs are the best plugs to use in our trucks. very few others work and if you get anything other it miss and knock like a moth******er. you should change the plugs and get a tune up every 30,000. you can get a way with another 15,000-20,000 miles but your fuel mileage will go to hell and you'll lose power. when getting the tune up the only other things you really have to do clean the throttle body and if its been a while the platinum too. if a shop tells you need to replace the coil packs tell them to shove it and go somewhere else. the coil packs are good for 100k give or take and even then they go out one by one. that way you don't have to fork out another 800 bones.

Cool Re:Spark plugs

They do carry champion plugs here, but not those ones for some reason, I can go to the dealer and buy them for twice the amount but that isn't happening. So i ordered them from Edmonton yesterday and will be here on Wednesday and had to order my PCV valve from vancouver 2 weeks ago and wanted to get a new egr valve and they are all back ordered and can only get one at the dealer...way to much.
But I did get new plug cables a week ago and one hell of a difference, I can even feel the power now when the hemi kicks...yah baby.
