If they're unfinished Al you may consider a clear powder coat so they don't oxidize. Now would be the time to do it.

Ah yep. That's like the valve covers on my old Challenger. Way easier. I could change all 16 plugs in about 45 mins.

For your purposes I would not know. Us poors with early hellcats don't have fancy buttons to press. I have to do burnouts the old way with the brake.

Why I have a burnbox.

depends how much your time is worth, my time is worth more than fucking around with sparkplugs all day

I have plenty of time

I have plenty of time

i don't, we all gonna die some time, would rather spend it racing or with friends, screw spark plug jobs

honestly think dodge did it to make money of consumers...

I have to admit as I'm getting a little older my time is becoming more and more valuable. I'd have to weigh the cost of the valve covers against how many times I'd have to pay to have the plugs changed and what that costs.

are those Manton? Can you show inside?

with the amount of racing i do with the car almost every weekend in the summer plugs are a must every year, even checking them will now be infinitely faster.

bmr tank gone, almost back to stock lines and don't worry i'm working with allpar on something nice for aux coolant tank

[drag racer]

To pay? You have done way harder things then changing spark plugs

absolutely the most difficult thing and moment of sanity leading me to cut plastics with a cutting wheel with the wires within a millimeter of their life was spark plugs. Fuck that noise. 6.4/5.7 boys have it so easy, the baffles aren't needed, run a catch can or two.

It was a job but I didn't do anything to the plastic. Jon just did them for the 2nd time and was quicker at it. If I had the money maybe I would get the covers. I guess you have the money and I have the time

purchased separately from Vibrant
12 orb to -8 an for the vents. The current JLT cans use 1/2” line. So I picked up a few -8 an fittings and hose. Helps a vibrant warehouse is two miles away and the guys like your hellcat.
