Spark plugs and general tune up ?'s

This is the place to ask questions about your engine components like cams, valves, pistons… just anything that is generally "engine" specific. This also includes questions about exhaust systems such as exhaust manifolds, piping size, mufflers, ect...

Spark plugs and general tune up ?'s

Post by Moparguy4 » Wed Nov 21, 2012 9:53 pm

This is for my 05 SXT.
I went down to get plugs and I thought I was getting the NGK V power however I wasn't paying attention and the guy gave me the standard NGK plugs " BKR6ES 6364 " should I take them back or are the OK? I've always ran the V-power in other vehicles.

How about wires anything better than others. I was thinking MSD or something similiar.

Has anyone used the MSD coil? Is it any better than stock (smoother idle, better starting, ect.) or no difference on a stock engine?

Most spark plugs work fine, it's just more of a matter of how long they last.

Some folks don't recommend platinum plugs for our cars, but I personally have not had any issues with them.

Any good name brand performance wires are adequate.


Aftermarket coils aren't really any better than the original Mopar unit. Other than being cheaper in cost. MSD coils are hit and miss at best for quality. IMHO, there is a reason the factory coil is so expensive. I have nearly 200,000 miles on my original coil. If it isn't broke, don't mess with it.

Patience, of course, is a very powerful weapon, but sometimes I start to regret that it is not a firearm.
