RE: SPARK PLUGS
ORIGINAL: HoustonHEMI
You would do yourself a favor to just do a search on spark plugs within this forum. This topic has been talked about forever.

Call me quirky here but I hardly call 30 replies about plugs in the last 6 months as being talked about forever, especially when you consider that many of those posts are say it's been discussed endlessly.
run the champion coppers. thats what they come with from the factory. platniums are good but will not last the 100,000 miles or so due too two plugs and twice the spark in one cylinder. the hemis will burn through plugs ALOT faster than other trucks ....hence the 30k plug change vs the 100k on other trucks (ford[:'(]) id do the math and see if paying double or more than double is worth it compared to the coppers. in my case at less than two bucks a pop...it wasnt. ill run any body that has other plugs as well an have a hard time believin they would beat me due to plugs. better plugs arent needed unless you are supporting specific mods ex n2o, turbo, blower etc.... imho
I've heard hemi's don't like the platinums as a general rule, but this is all second hand knowledge. I have heard that some of the guys running turbos use the factory champions, but gap them differently (closer?)
