I think you nailed it Frank... there's a lot of hacks that make sense on
old motors, and a complete waste on new ones. Few of us really give a
crap about Honda/Toyota Super-ULEV cars for funm, but hey, if we had
that level of combustion efficiency in our old motors they'd scream!!
Look at that 195.6OHV -- it's got almost no spark advance! Unbelievable!
I've added more than 10 degrees advance at speed and it wants more. And
in what, two years? I've not heard this motor ping.
