This is accomplished by placing a washer underneath the spark plug's shoulder area (of a specified thickness) so that after properly torqueing the spark plug, the electrode would be pointed in the desired direction, usually towards the incoming air/fuel charge from the intake valve.
Some racers have discovered that certain engine configurations made more power with the spark plug pointed away from the air fuel mixture.
It is important to note that any power increase will be small, typically 1-2% of total engine output, and the proper indexing orientation can only be discovered after extensive engine dyno testing.

Looks like I'll have to change them out today.
Brian: I'll get some bin files to you this week, especially if the plugs do not remedy anything.

I would like a copy of your stock bin file too please. I need the shift points for a stock 6.0/80e. 
A RADIX'd bin would be nice too.
