16V vs 12V for Stocker?

The only performance advantage to 16v is when you have a lot of compression. 16 to 1 and above will fire the plugs better than 12. Sure the starter turns over faster, fan and water pump cool quicker. BUT- a 16 volt batteries cells are smaller than a 12 volt battery. Therefore you have much less reserve and a charge does not last near as long. And everybody has a 16 volt horror storey.
