That's what I thought.  I widened the gap on my TR6 to .035.  Ran great. 
Except under certain circumstances such as 1500 - 2500 when warn and after
running at a higher speed.  I tried mixture, I tried cap and rotor.  It
wasn't until I reset the gap to .025 did the problem go away.

Bottom line: The XR700 is nothing more than an electronic switch.  Unless
you change the coil the spark energy is the same as before.  Still a good
enough reason to install one, though.  I have one on two of my cars.
