If you cant have enough energy out of one plug...use 2 !
With todays high energy multispark systems a dual plug system seems a bit outdated except for safety backup as in aviation.
Shure looks good though...i have a KONG setup waiting to go into my 36.
Actually the dual plug idea is still alive and well in production cars and trucks. Look at the new generation HEMI engines dual plugs are standard as well as lots of torque and horse power.
