There are a lot of misconceptions about the dual spark plug heads used on the NAPS motors. First, although it does reduce emissions there are no emissions side plugs. Here's a few facts about the dual plugs:

Both plugs fire at the same time. Two ignition points allows the designers to be able to use more EGR to lower cylinder temperatures which reduces NOx without bad running at low steeds. Dual plugs means that there are two points of ignition which will shorten the burn time. Think of lighting a candle at both ends. This shorter burn also shortens the peak cylinder pressure time when NOx is produced. Less ignition advance reduces the chance of pinging and increases efficiency too. It's no surprise that 6,000 hp fuel cars run dual plugs.
