Spark plugs help.

[05singlecabHEMI]

i want to get new spark plugs for the hemi but wasnt sure which kind were the best on the market for increasing performance. yall know any good plug out there?
and wondering if there were any special sparkplugs id need or wires since id need 16. never changed out spark plugs for a hemi.

thanks!

The best spark plugs in my opinion are whatever came in there from the factory.

I'll go first (edit: second) as you're gonna get alot of different opinions. Most like the Copper stock ones, but I find the gap opens up on there own after as little as 12K miles. So IMO you should think about replacing them with 1 x colder plug like an NGK 4306 which are not expensive. I run 2 x colder but have a couple Mods.

yea thats what ive been hearing/reading alot. i might have a shop do it and just watch them do it so i can learn how to in the future.

thanks for the help though. i think i might go with the stock ones.

They aren't that hard to do, just takes some time with the right tools

I have used the stock replacements,stay away from e3s and platnum plugs. Platnums break down and melt onto the pistons on the HEMIs and yeah... bad.

i dont need to replace the wires or anything? just the spark plugs?

 

[truckin151]

Not unless the wire is bad/burnt/arching/etc. Otherwise just the/plugs

 

[05singlecabHEMI]

ive always used to replace the wires. but that just makes it 10x easier then. thanks for the help guys!
now just gotta learn how to get the bottom spark plugs out haha. think i might try it myself and then go from there.

How many miles are on the truck? Depending on the miles you might be do for wires and boots. A good set of swilves and a small mag on a stick will be your best friend.
