    With upgrades my tuner recommends iridiums as well 1 degree cooler. So if stock is a 5 you want a 6 in part number to be 1 cooler

    Back when we had a '07 Charger R/T (2007-2013) ...... a friend of mine who worked as a Mopar master mechanic for a number of years; told me that a lot of guys with early 5.7's had drivability issues when they strayed away from almost anything other than the Champion copper plugs.

    When we had that car (and my '11 Challenger R/T) I stuck with the copper Champion plugs and changed them out about every 30,000 miles. Both cars ran great.

    Iridium plugs can cost over $12 each, which could be why some people avoid them. Around $100 for spark plugs seems outrageous to some people.
