I cast my vote for burned piston.  High piston
speeds(thanks to RPM's), high CC pressures(thanks to
Mr. turbo)and super high temps.(thanks to lean
mixture).  Can you say plasma cutter?  Maybe he'll
offer a demonstration?  What instruments could/should
we hook up to the engine to 'really' determine when
such negatives take effect?

Close, but no burned pistons yet...
