Will your engine suddenly produce 300 times the horsepower?
In all honesty, if the spark is enough to ignite the fuel air mixture, then it's not much more complicated than that when it comes to spark plugs.
There are a few things that matter though.
Heat range-self explanatory
Electrode Materials-Affects wear/longevity and to some degree electricity's ability to jump the gap
Resistance-non-resistor or low resistance plugs may cause problems with some electronics on a vehicle but may allow electricity to jump the gap easier
Gap-obvious what this is but without getting into details generally cooler temperatures may allow a slightly larger gap to be run which may be slightly more efficient at igniting the mixture
Electrode size/shape-small needle like electrodes may be slightly more efficient due to less energy required to jump the gap but they are more easily fouled especially in old high mileage engines in which case a large electrode is preferable
Beyond that, most anything else is high dollar gimmicks. Good spark plugs will adhere to their design specifications closely and consistently with very little variance between individual plugs.
I have never heard of that brand but I have seen so many gimmicks over the years. Most major brands are good and asking what is the best is like asking what is the best oil.
Let us know it turns out or if the performance increase you feel is only from a lighter wallet.

Oh, and for the cold riding gloves, my "top level" of glove is a ski mitten set I bought at an outfitter in Alaska. Down filled. They look like small boxing gloves. Those and some snow mobile liners underneath and my hands are good to 70MPH at 15 degrees F, which I've done.

You're a better man than I. Lowest temps I've ever been forced to ride in were in the high 20's. And there was a lot of sunshine to keep all the black leather warm. Still colder than a well digger's ***, or a witch's ***...

Is there any power advantage? Nope will that wire last a long time vs your 10 year old wires? Yep! If your looking for the best performing wire after 10 years you need new ones no matter what wire you run evan the Nology!
BTW look at some top fuel harleys I bet you find someone running Nology's
