I have a couple of Qs about the CC 340 engine:

  • Electronic ignition. I like this and the advantages it brings to the engine operation. Which system is this? Is this the E-Mag E or P model with a built in alternator for backup?

  • Compression. What value is it? There's talk about unleaded fuel for GA and speculation that it might be the current 100LL without the lead which yields ~ 96 octane. No telling when or if this will ever happen since. We all know the TCM O-200-A with a 7.0:1 comp ratio will run on anything, including most Tennessee moonshine. What about the CC 340? Can I run homemade hooch in it? How tolerant might it be with 96 octane if this becomes the fuel of the future?

  • I think the cooling plenum and the 4 into 1 are awesome. In fact, the whole thing is amazing. Kudos to Jim R and the CC team.


Thanks.
