How about an injector mounted just above the upper plug, or between the plugs. This could be a diesel injector with a very high pop pressure. Two single cylinder pumps would follow a single eccentric on the nose of the crank, 180 degrees apart. High rotor face temps would improve power. There would be no fuel trapped in the squish areas. You could run as much boost as you want. There would be no fuel to preignite or detonate because injection would be at TDC or just a few degrees before. Atomization would be near perfect and between the plugs. In fact once up to temps it might not need plugs at all. You could start it on gasoline and once at temp, run it on almost anything, just like WWII.
Something to think about anyway.

Atomization is the big issue. That is what Vance is saying. It takes super
high pressure to atomize well. 2000 psi and up Ford claims.
