Jeff-
The major disadvantage to hotter plugs is that they indeed do have a hotter
tip temperature. If this tip temp is increased too far, it creates a hot spot
which can cause detonation when the incoming charge of fuel/air hits it, and
given a high enough temp long enough, will melt the tops of the pistons. This
is not good.

A little hot-headed myself
