... did you even READ what I wrote? "...this mod increases effective combustion chamber volume by removing a section of spark plug thread, thereby lowering efficiency by lowering the compression ratio..."

BTW, premium fuels do not "burn slower" as such - they are merely more resistant to spontaneous combustion due to elevated pressures/temperatures.
