Why would you do colder plugs?

I have a 2016 IS300 AWD. Just waiting to hear back from RR on my tune before I can give feedback. The dyno charts for their tune definitely seem impressive, and anyone else talking about it hasn't had any complaints far as I can tell.

Because why pay an extra 5 grand for an IS350 with the exact same engine, when you can get the IS300 and put the 350 fuel maps on it for 750$?

That wasn't a "mistake". That's the old bait and switch.

The guy that asked is Canadian. So it's about 5k difference for a 300 up to a 350. And the tune is about 750$.
