Less filling, more taste?.

Or are you asking about why the cooler plug?.

If the later:
The center electrode can hold just enough heat that in some transistional
stuff (tip-in detonation / ping), and some conditions of WOT trigger a
slight amount of detonation.   Lots of reasons, but usually from running too
small of injector, and running out of AE.  Often folks just look at injector
sizing as a function of BSFC, and totally miss the AE stuff.  Or get cought
up in the lean as possible mode, and then any variance in fuel fubar's
things.
