so some company can find a design flaw in an Engine from Subaru (or Honda, Toyota, etc) and they optimize the faulty component (spark plugs in this case) and then you get more power and better gas mileage? if it were that simple, why didn't the car manufacturer implement it in the first place?
not trying to play smart here, but I believe most things (cars, appliances, etc) were optimized by the manufacturer and there is not much to gain by using "high performance" after-market parts. I don't deny that you could get more power/performance in some cases, but it is usually not cost effective
EDIT: check out LASER spark plugs
