Well, with the help of you fine Hemi owners,past and present, I, a good ole Navy Boatswain Mate Chief, was able to finish changing the plugs in my Hemi,(btw, I went with the general concensiou of NGK 5306). I thank you all a million and ask to be patient, I like this "grease monkey thing" and there will be many, many more questions. I think the next will be headers and I am buying a Superchip form one of the boys on here!!!!

If the Superchip that you're buying is a part number 3815 it will soon be obsolete when the new updates come out. You're better off buying part number 3865.

You can find the 3865 on ebay for around $300. Summit has it for $350. The 3865 does everything the 3815 does and more. It is going to have transmission tuning options once the beta testing of all that is complete. My part of the testing isn't ready to begin just yet. But I understand these tranny options will be great. When they are ready you will just update your tuner over the internet.

I changed my plugs today. I didn't have the right tools as recommended here so it took me 5 hrs. I think next time with the right tools and having done it before I should cut my time in half.
