As you rally drivers will know, on a traction limited stage you may not feel a loss of say, 20% actual torque and thus the engine could be being damaged further by your not noticing.
Could always add far bigger injectors then we can do something with the fuel side of things instead, but at way over 9:1 and with 40psi, there isnt much fuel left to fooking add on the current setup....
A temperature related light on the dash is the way forward IMO.
bigger injectors is not a problem
but i have to say that with the rebuild , im more than happy ( and will be ) with the compression being even higher, as we havent reached the pinnacle i dont think of the high boost high comp motor. in fact i know full well there is alot more scope in raised compression if i was to go to carless fuels. but even with optimax i feel a little more is still available.
