How fast it transmits the heat of combustion to the heads..........average plug tip temperature......too Cold and it may foul at idle, too Hot and it may set off preignition at sustained high rpms.For most idle fouling is the worst case since few drive at high rpm for a long time in Summer.
Plus or minus 1 heat range 5,6 or 7 won't affect power at all.
Guess the real criteria is how many times per day you exceed 5500 rpms regularly vs the more normal driver whose average day is 2,000 rpm [675>2,700 rpm].....can't go wrong with 6B
