All four 9's are suggested once significant power modifications have been added or running higher than stock boost. It reduces the chance of pre-ignition. Running colder plugs while still relatively stock just allows them to foul quicker.

Red-lining a car JUST to clean plugs is dumb IMO. It's all too frequently used as a rationale for driving like an ass-hat. Driving hard is fun, I understand. But taking a car to red-line stresses alot of things that tend to off-set what little benefit that might provide. Buy decent gas, change your oil frequently and if your worried about carbon build-up, add a simple AI system.

Maybe there's something, but I'm not aware of any reliable data reflecting a significant change in mpg related to a plugs heat-range on our cars.
