    Spark plugs recommendation

    Hi guys,

    My 2012 Dodge Charger SRT8, 6.4L is literally melting my spark plugs one by one. There were Desnso ITV20 in it. I will try with ITV 22 now.
    But can you tell what plugs to use and to be sure they won't be melt when I push the engine a bit

    Woah, you should not be melting plugs...period. If you are truly seeing indications that the plugs are melting then the motor is running dangerously lean. Iridium plugs have the best resistance to melting. Are you running any power adders...supercharger...cam..etc? Check your intake manifold bolts for proper torque as on challengers this is a common source of leaks.

    That is what I suspected. Are you running a wideband and have you confirmed fueling is within safe limits? Normally on boosted applications you want to run 1 to 2 heat ranges colder on the plug. If you are not running forged pistons, be conservative with the tune and don't run too much boost. 6.4L are known to bust piston landings with ease.

    We are equipped with AEM wideband sensor and water/methanol injection, but I'm not sure about the pistons
