first thing is welcome to the sight , second the hemi does not run right on plat plugs 90% of the time . change them over to champion copper plugs the OEM kind . you will see a difference and they are half the price of plats . all 16 for 40 bucks round about .

yup, hemis take regular copper cores, which is nice cause they are cheaper and they take 16 plugs 1 for combustion and 1 for pre exhaust. and are recommended every 30,000 miles.

Welcome,the others are right,stick with stock style plugs,if you aren't handy find a good independant shop to swap 'em out for you,they can be a biotch for the novice shade tree mechanic.
