"Use the Search" is not an acceptable response by itself. Just because a question has been answered before, doesn't give you the right to flame the person for asking it again. If you are not willing to at least post the exact URL to the thread (or page) where the answer can be found, and explain how the info can be found quickly next time, then just move on and say nothing at all. Teach newbies how to find info, don't flame them for not finding it. Links to the VFAQ homepage are also not recommended. Link to the article."

You shouldn't really be running colder plugs if your not turbo or using n2o. I would have gone with 1 step hotter. I'm using MSD 8.5 wires and I like those pretty well. With this setup I gapped mine to .050. Good luck :thumb:
 
cool thanx for the info guys, im gonna go out and buy the new plugs, since the colder will not work.
 
I got some wierd problem... i got ngk spark plugs ... im always mis-firing and i just replaced them a year and half ago.... so i figured it was the wires so i put on bosch wires .... then i gapped the sparkplugs to .65 ran great for a week then all of a sudden i start mis-firing again..... what should i do?

Ditch the wires, get stockers from the dealer or the mopar performance wires from the chrysler dealership. Also the plugs should be gapped 1.22-1.35mm or 0.048 to 0.053". You've got yours opened up too much.

well just installed ngk 6's with wires and it runing good so far, ill see how it runs for the next few days.
 
i used .046 gap, ngk says themselves that the gap should be .050. so if your near there it should run well.
 
Just fixed it... replaced the plugs with ngkbk6eix-11 ... i could tell the difference as soon as i hit the gas i was kind of surprised i was losing power i guess
 
I've got NGK's and left them at .044" gap. Had them for two weeks and they're good so far.
