Is there even enough time at 6000RPM for the fuel to fully vaporize if
injected directly into the rotor housing and adequately mix throughout the
rotor area before the first spark goes off? Isn't there only maybe 1/100th
of a second between intake and spark? (2000RPM e-shaft x 37" mean circum. @
center of travel? / 60secs = 1233 in/sec)?
