Unless you are upping the coil voltage, a simple swapping of spark plugs will not create plasma. If that where the case it would mean that the stock plug was absorbing more energy than it was outputting, this could be checked by simple resistance. Unfortunately that is not the case, for if the resistance in the plug where high enough to cut the voltage that much the coil would have gone bad already. Is your coil bad?

well- a plug is a resistor and resistors create heat.
all plugs absorb more energy than they output.
what in our world is 100% efficient?
(if you say gravity....)

splittin hairs i know.
