it burns more gas in the cyclinder if your running a little rich and if yourn buring oil it will burn it all insted of fouling it out.......i recomend if your not doing one of these two things stick with what your running cuz you can also melt a hole in the piston by running a hotter plug.......

it is better to lean out your ratio with a accurate PCIII map, then to use a hotter plug...remember...just because it is hotter, doesn't make it better for all applications)
