Okay. Fine that seems to make some sense to me. but I have heard a lot of people say those retard units didn't help. I have not tried one myself. I might be curious enough myself to try it.
But this thread was not about your ignition unit, it was about the stuff you said about squish band combustion chambers not helping.
I have way too much testing results from myself, race experts, and other individuals to say otherwise.
I have seen how the stock cylinder heads performed terribly by causing poor performance and lots of damaged engine parts.
I can see how using an ignition retarding device would help remedy that problem.
But I don't think that is the best solution for the poor performance and hot running caused by the stock heads.
The best solution is to simply put a properly designed cylinder head on, one which incorporates a squish band.
My test bikes can do 50 MPH on 93 octane pump gas, and they are much more reliable than when I was using the stock cylinder heads without a squish band.
There is no way that a stock head and your ignition device could even come close to the level of performance achieved by simply using a properly designed cylinder head.
That is why I stated the ignition retard device was a compromise approach to the real problem of detonation with these engines.
I think your ignition device is worth a serious look at, as long as it is a reliable unit, but there is no way I can agree with you about the squish bands.
