Exactly, and it will make tunning harder, and since it brings more oxigen to the cumbustion process you need to open up the needles a lot to use it or you are running lean, so fuel consumption goes way up too.

Also, you cant just put 215 deg to all engines, rod length is an equally big part of timming, you have to consider it just like you consider port opennings
