Just to throw a little fuel on the fire... :)
Keep in mind that the big boys probably change their plugs every run...
Or at least, they can afford to. Personally, I need a plug that's going
to last longer than 6 seconds. ;) (And did you happen to notice wether
or not Champion was their sponsor? That would make a difference.) :)
That said, I have no idea what quality plugs Champion makes. I have
no bias against them one way or another. In my motorcycle and my 2-stroke
ultralight engine I run NGK plugs. For the Dakota, I will probably end up
buying them from Jules, since the plugs he sells are recommended by
Dodge, and Jules strikes me as the type of person that knows what he's
doing. :)
