Ding.  I think we have a winner.  I saw a NASTYCAR
piston once.  Running like 14/1 compression and went
full lean as he ran out of gas at part throttle.
Looked like they used a cutting torch.  It burned a
hole clean through the dome.  Melted right through it.
 EGT's can really soar under part throttle/lean
conditions.  Totally off throttle is still hot but not
nearly so.
