Can guarantee with 100% certaintly that if we end up with an extra degree of timing at certain point in a run we will melt parts..But thats what happens when you are in an all out venture. We add timing on a run, a LOT of timing in lower gears. If for some reason we end up with to much in high gear the engine is very unhappy. The amount of fuel we run in the engine combined with its octane and will defintely hurt parts with to much, Yep even a degree or two will kill parts.
