I would suspect they 'tolerate' the ignition advance because the design is so

Fact of the matter is, the Chrylser hemis only like around 28 - 35 degrees,
until fuel loads get above 80% Nitro. Once you get up that high in nitro, then
they like 55-70 degrees. When you get that high in nitro, it's my opinion that
you are no longer dealing with flame propogation, etc, you are dealing with
true explisions in the cylinders, and the time of travel of an explosive charge
is much different than a flame burn. But I'm really out of my realm here, this
is engineering stuff. I'm just an old shade tree mechanic.
