the rotary parts have no different requirements except you usually use
2 spark plugs per chamber due to the distance the flame front has to
travel.   plans at this point are for a go-kart application but who
knows i just want to experiment with larger eccentricity (i.e.
basically stroke) to see if any reasonable amount of torque can be
made from a rotary engine.

plus they sound so damn cool at 9k rpms
