i could be thinking about this wrong, but when you do that, you're just making the other half of the plugs fire when the original set would have.... no change. i have an alternate, really complex thought that also seems kind of pointless, but i'll draw it out first to see if it makes sense.


that's assuming that whole theory about them firing on the exhaust stroke instead of at the same time as the other plugs on the end of the compression stroke is correct.... and according to the factory documentation i've been reading, it's not. if there were an advantage to doing such changes, i would think the factory would have done them.
