Dragon Fire Performance Hemi Ignition Coils and Iridium Spark Plugs – Kit-1565

The AIP Electronics Dragon Fire Performance Kit-1565 combines replacement ignition coils with NGK-style LZFR5CI-11 iridium spark plugs for select Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep and Ram Hemi V8 applications.

However, this kit should not be advertised as universally compatible with every 2008–2019 5.7L, 5.9L, 6.1L and 6.4L engine. Those engines use different spark-plug designs depending on the displacement, model year and vehicle. Apparently “Hemi” was considered sufficient fitment data. It isn’t.

Product Features

  • Dragon Fire Performance ignition coils
  • Iridium spark plugs
  • Direct-fit coil connections
  • OE-style mounting dimensions
  • Advertised output of up to 15% more energy
  • Replacement for select UF504-style coils
  • Intended as a complete ignition-service package
  • Manufactured under ISO/IATF-certified processes

The claimed 15-percent increase in ignition energy is a manufacturer claim and should not be presented as a guaranteed horsepower or fuel-economy improvement.

Hemi Engines Use 16 Spark Plugs

Third-generation Hemi engines use two spark plugs per cylinder. A complete V8 service therefore requires:

  • Eight ignition coils
  • Sixteen spark plugs

Confirm that Kit-1565 contains all 16 plugs before describing it as a complete tune-up kit. Eight plugs would service only half the engine, which is generally frowned upon outside budget meetings.

Potential Vehicle Applications

5.7L Hemi V8

The UF504-style coils and LZFR5CI-11 plugs may be applicable to select later 5.7L Hemi vehicles, including:

  • Dodge Challenger R/T
  • Dodge Charger R/T
  • Dodge Durango
  • Ram 1500
  • Ram 2500 and 3500
  • Chrysler 300C
  • Jeep Grand Cherokee
  • Jeep Commander

The NGK application catalog identifies LZFR5CI-11, stock number 92145, for select later 5.7L Hemi applications with an approximately 1.1 mm or 0.044-inch gap. ngkntk.com

Fitment must still be checked by year, model, engine code and original plug number.

6.1L Hemi V8

Potential models include:

  • 2008 Dodge Magnum SRT8
  • 2008–2010 Dodge Challenger SRT8
  • 2008–2010 Dodge Charger SRT8
  • 2008–2010 Chrysler 300C SRT8
  • 2008–2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8

The 6.1L Hemi commonly uses a different plug family, including references such as PLZTR5A-13, rather than LZFR5CI-11. An NGK catalog lists PLZTR5A-13 for 2007–2010 6.1L applications with a 1.3 mm or 0.052-inch gap. angelvf.com

Therefore, Kit-1565 should not be listed for a 6.1L vehicle unless the plugs physically included in that specific kit match the vehicle’s cataloged application.

6.4L Hemi V8

Potential models include:

  • Dodge Challenger SRT8, SRT 392 and Scat Pack
  • Dodge Charger SRT8, SRT 392 and Scat Pack
  • Chrysler 300 SRT8
  • Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8/SRT
  • Ram 2500 and 3500 with the 6.4L gas V8

LZFR5CI-11/92145 appears in published NGK catalogs for certain 6.4L applications, but later SRT models may use other plug numbers, including LZTR6AP11EG/97408. Fabricantes de vehículos de motor

Verify the model year and original plug number before purchase.

The 5.9L Listing Is Incorrect

The description’s 2008–2019 5.9L V8 claim should be removed.

Chrysler’s 5.9L Magnum gasoline V8 was replaced before the advertised 2008 starting year. The 5.9L engine found in later Dodge and Ram trucks was a Cummins diesel, which does not use Hemi ignition coils or spark plugs.

There is no legitimate 2008–2019 Dodge, Jeep, Chrysler or Ram 5.9L Hemi V8 application for this kit.

Coil Interchange Numbers

The ignition coils are advertised as replacing:

  • UF504
  • 56029129AA
  • 56029129AB
  • 56029129AF
  • Related OE-style Hemi coil references

Always compare:

  • Electrical connector
  • Mounting location
  • Coil-body dimensions
  • Boot length
  • Original OE number

A physically similar Hemi coil does not guarantee that the included spark plugs are correct for the same engine.

Spark-Plug References

Advertised plug references include:

  • NGK LZFR5CI-11
  • NGK stock number 92145
  • Approximately 0.044-inch factory gap for applicable engines

NGK identifies LZFR5CI-11 as a Laser Iridium application for selected Hemi engines. Laser Iridium plugs use an iridium center electrode and a precious-metal ground electrode intended for OE-style durability.

Learn more about the difference between performance-oriented and OE-style iridium plugs in NGK’s guide to Iridium IX versus OE Iridium spark plugs.

Symptoms This Kit May Correct

Correctly matched coils and plugs may help address:

  • Rough or unstable idle
  • Hesitation under acceleration
  • Hard starting
  • Reduced engine power
  • P0300 random or multiple-cylinder misfire
  • P0301 through P0308 cylinder-specific misfires
  • Coil primary or secondary circuit codes
  • Flashing check-engine light
  • Fuel odor caused by incomplete combustion

Before replacing every ignition component, read our guide to bad ignition-coil symptoms. Fuel injectors, intake leaks, damaged wiring and mechanical engine problems can produce nearly identical symptoms.

Our P0300 diagnostic guide also explains why a random-misfire code does not automatically condemn all eight coils.

Installation Notes

Replacing Hemi spark plugs requires more time than servicing a conventional eight-plug V8 because there are two plugs per cylinder.

Before installation:

  1. Confirm the VIN, model year, displacement and engine code.
  2. Verify the original coil and spark-plug numbers.
  3. Make sure the kit includes 16 correct spark plugs.
  4. Work only on a cool engine.
  5. Clean dirt from around every plug well.
  6. Compare plug thread, reach, seat and heat range.
  7. Check every plug gap before installation.
  8. Start each plug by hand to prevent cross-threading.
  9. Use the factory torque specification for the exact engine.
  10. Inspect all coil connectors and boots.
  11. Clear stored codes and confirm normal operation.

NGK recommends checking the required gap for the individual engine even when plugs arrive pre-gapped. Review its guidance on checking and setting spark-plug gaps.

Recommended Product-Page Fitment Statement

Compatible with select Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep and Ram vehicles equipped with 5.7L, 6.1L or 6.4L Hemi V8 engines. Fitment varies by year, engine and spark-plug specification. Confirm OE coil number 56029129AB/UF504 and spark-plug number LZFR5CI-11/92145 before ordering. Not compatible with 5.9L Cummins diesel engines.
