As it goes, our motors are 270 degree firing motors. Rumor has it that Triumph did it for teh sound, but we get a little bit more torque over the 360º motors. So, would we get an even better thump and more torque if our motors were 180º firing?

As I understand it, we get better torque because as one piston is dead stopped at TDC or BDC, the other is halfway through it's stroke and at top speed. Helps to conserve momentum. A 360 or 180 degree crank has both pistons stopped at the same time.
