What would be the effects of sustained high EGT's?
If you are det free, I can only see a problem with turbo. And if you look at the reliability of turbos in comparison to engines, I don't think I would have much concern of the turbo.
Again I am just total amatuer but just curious.

I hate to have cluttered up DTM's thread. I was just curious as to how he went about choosing the boost level. And if actually he simply did not make anymore power with more boost. Seems hard to imagine because Buschur motors are 9:1 I think and run 30 psi on 93. While 9.6:1 is not a big jump from there.

Yes but if your det free presumably the exhaust valve temps are in check? I dunno.

When pistons and valves and such are exposed to excessive heat, they begin to absorb that heat, and will do so until the metal surfaces reach the same temp. When this happens, the resulting hotspots will increase preignition potential. When the fuel mixture begins autoigniting, you're done.
There are differences of engineering strategies between endurance racing and drag racing. The motors running 30 psi on 93 octane aren't being subjected to 30 min of WOT events.

we could spice this conversation up with some valve seat, valve guide and valve material conversation now that we are talking about heat if everyone is down with it.

HeadGames, lots of people and or vendors on here have been selling your machined heads as there own, do you yourself offer the services or just through vendors?
