Apparently because of the offset it creates more leverage on the downstroke to the crankshaft, the trade off is a bit of piston slap, not sure it would be practical for a road car, these were built to power a seat and some angle iron around an oval track spending most of their time between 5000 and 7000rpm a few times a year then rebuilt for the next season sometimes during the season
