That's a ~630HP engine, and it's got a distributor.  Draw your own  
conclusions.

I couldn't find a clear picture showing where the wires go on the 20v  
IMSA cars, or for the S1 rally cars...

Nobody has ever explained to my satisfaction how this cross-firing  
situation is possible.  There's 72 degrees on the distributor between  
cylinders, timing is done by the ECU off a hall sensor, and  
electricity always takes the path of least resistance...
