brings out the best in each member of the team.

I think it is excellent that an engine manufacture and an ignition manufacturer are working this close. It takes a lot of trust on both parties sides.
Not to mention that mixing a mechanical engineer and an electronics engineer is like mixing beer and wine.

You can do it, but it usually results in a big headache.

Timing plays a crucial role to things like:

Throttle response
Torque (and therefore HP)
Fuel efficiency
temperature control
easy starting
built in governor control
etc., etc.

adding a simple TPS makes a big difference. After that, adding sensors does not bring the same large returns, unless you want to add fuel injection. Up to this point FI does not provide enough gain to warrant the expense, complexity,or weight penalty.

We, in the end, will benefit greatly!...I hope

OK, there's my two cents.
