The new generation Chrysler "Hemi" has to use two spark plugs to get a better burn just to meet emissions because the high domed piston needed two flame fronts.

icsmike, your 4 valve head is years ahead of Hemi technology. You are the type of person that Chrystler hooks with their "that think got a hemi?" marketing campaign. Hemi is old old old tech. Chrystler made those things in the 50's! Your way ahead of the curve here with our old 32V 928 engines which are far from state of the art at this point. But they are still many evolutionary steps beyond siple hemi heads. Porsche had hemi heads from the beginning with the 911's (think 1964)

Dont worry about what the rednecks tell you about Hemi's, they dont know ****. They've probably never heard of 4 cam engines.
