a hot plug for me equals crisper throttle response and a better idling engine.
And yes 'regular' non turbo plugs come in short and long lengths. If you use a short plug in a standard button head it'll work but the temps will be unreliable and you will have loss of compression (because the plug doesn't fill the combustion chamber fully, it's like adding two shims under your cooling head)
A long plug in a head designed for short plugs will cause your piston to hit the plug...not good.
"Most" OS motors take a short plug but some like the TM's take a standard plug.
