My idea is you fill in you do not add much twist or torque and in you close
them up they add to the torque on the rear crank has to transfer.. Like I
said no practical experience but shooting form the hip here to avoid twist.
Easiest way is to avoid load hence the 45 degree split.

So the idea is to make it a smooth V16 instead of a synchronized Double
V8? Wonder what the Tractor Pull guys are doing with the 5 engine
setups?

Having never done done this but intuitively I would separate the firing
points 45 degrees EX if engine 1 were to fire at 0 BTDC I would have
engine
2 fire either 45 BTDC or 45 ATDC to fill in the time between firing any
other choice would have them add to a higher torque level for the rear
crankshaft. Obviously you need to add the ignition advance and only used
those numbers for easy math..

BTW thanks for the racing related post!!!
