What wire set would be good for the hemi. Currently i am running omni oe from orielly and ever since i put them the truck runs bad with more pingging, idle drops, runs sluggish, and feels low on power. Only when its cold it runs good but as soon as it warms up it starts acting up.

I did some research on the omni plugs n found out they have 3x more resistance than the stock ones which is not good.
So i was thinking of going with the BWD from orielly, on the review it showed they have 6x lower resistance than the omni, it also did a bit better than the bosch premium plugs.

Any suggestion i would appreciate it

Im running a set of the premium Napa wires on both rams. Taylor makes a good set for the trucks and so does MSD just gotta pay $$$$.

You definitely want a set that are equal to, or below, the stock resistance. I went with a set of MSD 8.5mm wires and stock copper plugs. Truck runs good, no problems at all.

Right now im running NGK's 5306, MSD is pretty price but is it worth for the $,
never really heard about the napa plug wires but will look into it.

I've never had a problem with MSD stuff so that's what I went with. I figure if it costs a bit more but has never let me down, it's money well spent.

I have had great results with the Taylor Thundervolt 8.2's. They also come in black, blue, or red, so you can add a little color under the hood if you care about styling.

Taylors would get my vote, MSD on my mustang have been less than impressive.
