Why opt for a colder spark plug?
Running colder spark plugs will not necessarily increase power but they may restore power if the current plugs are old and worn. Colder spark plugs are more efficient at transferring heat away from the tips of the spark plugs. Lower horsepower engines will not create as much heat, so these spark plugs may not work as effectively as the OEM option under 450whp, or they will require replacement sooner. The reason behind that is that the spark plug tips stay too cool and become less effective at burning carbon deposits off the tip of the plugs. However, keeping the spark plug tips cooler is essential for preventing misfires in higher horsepower engines.
