It may allow the use of higher nitro. The rule of thumb is that the smaller the engine, the higher nitro you can run. Believe it or not, nitro is considered a slow burning fuel, kind of funny when you consider that we have the little engines cranking out 38-42,000 RPM. In the "big-block" .90's the 2- or 3-plug heads help to give you a better fuel burn so you can run more nitro than you normally would. We're seeing this also in everything from Top Fuel and Funny Car engines to the little 2.3 Liter in my Ford pick-up using 2 plugs per cylinder.
