5.7 liter spark plugs all 16

RE: 5.7 liter spark plugs all 16
I got my Bosch from AutoBarn via Amazon, which was the cheapest way I found.
Check your engine, what wires, these things don't have traditional sparkplug wires
There's coil packs that sit on top of the valve cover above the spark plug holes 4 on each side of the engine. Unplug the wire connector on the coil packs then take the two bolts off (10mm) and twist a little clock/counter clockwise and pull it straight up. There are two rubber booties attached to the coil pack that travel down the sparkplug holes that carry the current the spark plug.
<edit> Here's a pic.
<edit #2> When putting new plugs in be sure to use antiseize lube on sparkplug threads.

06Hemiazy,
Put the new plugs in (at great expense) and run it at the track and let us know. Also, see if your MPG actually goes up (take a trip now and the same trip after the new plugs are in). For the absolutely miniscule difference you'll get, at the cost difference, I'd be shocked if anything changes.
The new technology with the stock plugs and coil packs have narrowed the gap (sorry) of the aftermarket vs stock plugs difference.
Save your money .
