www.nitrode.com (http://www.nitrode.com). Was wanting what ya'll think of this new plug. Was also wondering what plugs are used in members cars as well. How big of a difference in performance and mileage was experienced from a plug swap? Thanks.

Been there ,seen a set, caused multiple misfires. For your Charger honestly ,look at double platinum Champions as an upgrade from stock copper(the last longer than copper, unless its a 5.7 hemi then stick with copper Champions).
Honestly in Chrysler, using Champion is fine, upgrading to platinum extends life.
I also have no issues with AC Delco, Motorcraft, NGK, Denso. all others I stay away from.
Had a great success with Bosch Platinum 4 when the VERY FIRST CAME OUT, had them in my old 355 in my yellow 77 Monza, worked awesome. Last set that ever worked for me, now they are misfires in a box.
But those I took out of a car, forget the brand, but from out of state(we get lots of college kids as I work in Bloomington Indiana, just east of IU) car ran like P__P guy put them in then drove, I think , from New york or some such place, car kept running worse as he got closer. said it got about 8 mpg by time he made it too IU, then let it sit till about 3 weeks ago, his car called for expensive iridium plugs and we had to replace all 4 rotors as they rusted from sitting.
Honestly one of the newest plug ideas I saw over regular plugs was back in 85 when NGK came out with V Groove, and they are STILL out and still work.
But you want to help it go look at Nology plug wires, they DO work great, salty price.
Also a quality stock type tune up will do more for mileage/performance over some gee whiz golly gosh gimmick.
