or should I jus get the NGKs? The NGKs are half the price.

Dont waste your money, I bet you will more than likley lose performance from these. I used champion plats for 2.50 and couldnt be happier.

Save your money and just use OEM Champion plugs for $1.25 ea.

The extra $7 you're going to pay over an OEM or equivalent plug will not buy you any noticeable benefit - go cheap...

hemis like the stock champions

I just put in the NGK Iridiums. The Daytona feels good. I can't say i notice an improvement, but apparently these plugs last longer then OEM.

For the E3 i would say BIG NO!! You can search on here or at chargerforums.com, but there have been reports of big problems with them. Don't take my word for it do a search and you will see.

Nothing wrong with oem champ plugs, but they only last 30k tops and you can more than double that with champion plats and the price is only double. Even though these are extremly easy plugs to change yourself on these cars, it still takes a tol on your back having to hunch over for about 45min-1hour.
champ copper 1.25=30k
champ plats 2.50=80k

Just make sure you get them nicely coated with anti seize, especially if you go plats because obviously the longer there in there the harder they stick.

Thanx y'all. Until I ask the question that starts an arguement, I'll just go buy what u guys say.

I suppose, but every 30k for me is like every 2.5 years so it's no big deal to change them at 30k. Plus I don't really like the idea of getting plugs out of aluminum heads after 5 or 6 years.

I changed mine at 33k and by the looks of them, they could easily gone way past that, but I changed them anyway.

Only time will tell how long other plugs last in the Hemi. I don't have any idea myself, so I'll just do it at or near every 30k.

I know it's slightly off topic, but how often do you need to change the wires? (I have an early one with the big mess of them across the intake manifold)

[Gdragich]

I replaced plus at 36000 after I had purchased the car. Noticed the plug wire mess and looking closely saw that there were some arc marks on the outside and the wires generally looked like crap for 36,000 miles-must be that they lay on hot intake their whole lives. Replaced with Taylor shorty wires in red and holy cow I mean just the clean look is worth it!! Don't really feel any performance increase and I don't think promise any, but the simplicity and look is worth it. I can't imagine what went through the Dodge engineer's head that came up with the cross-over plug mess!
Buy them, Buy them NOW. I got from Moes Performance-he has a package with wires and plugs.

[89grand]

I'm glad they fixed that mess by 06. No wires FTW!

I never heard of them, but it looks like they tried to copy the Halos I mentioned in this thread:
Halo, a new kind of spark plug for the Hemi
Don't know about the Hemi, but the Halos sure worked nice in a Chevy 305. Last year my buddy put a set of them in his 98 Jaguar XJR (supercharged V8). He's really pleased with them. I haven't decided yet if I'm going to use them for the Hemi though, 16 plugs, and they are quite expensive. The big thing is the durability, and the unobscured spark which allows the ignition timing to be advanced, making more power.
