Bosch platinum spark plugs?

Would these be a good plug to put in a 5.7L hemi?

    If you had good success with it so far, put out one on them and then buy a matching set.

    Don't USE BOSCH PLUGS IN A TOYOTA NGK or NIPPENDENSO! I work at a Toyota dealership's carrier dept. Bosch plugs do not work well in jap engines. Even the engineers cant tell me precisely why, however I see a ways too many cars with drivability problems where the proprietor tells me they just put new plugs in and then a brief even as later the automobile runs like crap. Certain enough they've Bosch platinum's in the engine. I pull them out, put the inventory plug in and main issue solved.

    @Robert M:

    "up to 20% more power and fuel economy?"

    So if my engine makes 250 horsepower and gets 21 MPG, by putting those plugs in I can now get 50 more HP and 25 MPG??? Hmmm. NOT!!!!

    The reason for platinum or iridium or whatever plugs is not to "excite" anything! They simply just last longer and resist fouling better than regular plugs.

    The previous answer is sort of correct. But in answer to your question, Bosch makes very good quality spark plugs. However, if you can afford the difference, Iridium plugs are the best to get. Any name brand will work well.

    YES but BOSCH IRIDIUM and FUSION plugs are MUCH BETTER! The reasons WHY are very clear! Modern fuels get CHEMICALLY excited with the presence of IRIDIUM and PLATINUM in the combustion chamber! Yo wil get up to 20% MROE POWER and ECONOM Y with these types of PLUGS and they last LONGER as well ! ESPECIALLY in GM products since GM is DOOMED to using their OWN MEXICAN MADE plugs that are NOT even included in PLUG TESTS any more! NO OTHER COMPNAY uses AC DELCO plugs but GM! But nearly ALL the best cars around the WORLD use BOSCH Plugs and DENSO plugs because they are REFINED and are made to HIGHER standards of PERFECTION!

    Most any engine will accept Platinum plugs. The type you use are your choice based on the amount of money you want to spend.

    It doesn't go by brand of plug. The name brand isn't what matters it's how hot the plug is and the threads (for the most part) go to an auto parts store tell them your vehicle they will find the correct plug for you
