Hi,
The Porsche head is a large deep bowl with the plug off to one side. You time a certain amount of degrees BTDC to give the flame time to travel across the head to light the mixture. This wouldn't be as big a problem if the spark plug was centrally located and there was a "squish" area to light.
The two flames of the dual spark help out with these issues. That is why you can actually retard from the normal timing.
Soon, some of the Engineers on the Forum will come in and correct or shore up my statements.
I'm just a shadetree after all.
