However this reduced the CR and was only effective in the upper RPM range. Reducing this to 8 degrees provided a higher CR with affecting the flow that much. Also the exit of the transfer area must be taken into consideration. If the plug were installed in the center and at an 8 degree angle, a power tip plug could be used and much better fuel economy could be had.
The dual plug heads are for the Model A. Snyder needs 20 of them for airplane guys. I will also offer them in iron for street guys.
