I just wanted to back-up what Don is saying. with this little tid-bit  
I read in  "How to Hot Rod your small block Mopar"
In the tune-up section, it had a paragraph on what spark plugs to use  
in your now warmed up motor. and basically said,
to use the coldest plug that your car will run with. because there's  
less heat build-up with a cooler plug and like what don
said, "a well tuned engine it takes very little to light." so instead  
of the champion J 12 the book said most race engines use
the J 9 colder plug. so now I'm thinking all this stuff about bigger,  
stronger spark is just a lot of hype, too. unless your running a
Top fuel dragster etc...

I remember once I tried opening up the gaps in my spark plugs from . 
035 to .040 just to see what would happen?
 all that did was make the engine run at a hotter temp. not the  
result I was hoping for.

just thought I'd mention it, FWIW.
