You could be just burning them up with chamber heat or killing them with heat caused Pre ignition/detonation. A cooler plug is always better to keep from glowing and causing pre ignition.

I ran the B9ES plugs then went to the 7's and just put the 5's in on Friday. I cross the line at about 7200 in good air. Will a 6AL work at that RPM and compression?
