Pull a plug wire on your car next time your going to race it and make a pass at big boost. Tell me a story.

One thing is half the stroke..

Working on such a device

If I pulled a plug wire with my ign setup, I would have two dead cylinders. Three things would happen. No way would I be able to obtain high rpm and secondly, I would not be able to build big boost. Thirdly, the engine would be running like crops of corn and I wouldn't make a pass.

The top of the exhaust and beginning of the intake stroke is where the most load on the area of the piston that you are referring to takes place. As Pablo pointed out already. At TDC on the compression, even with a misfire, there is less load at that area of the piston than at the exhaust to intake cycle. Just wanted to clarify this.

Where you can get into trouble iwith yanking piston and rod is during decel more than anything else.

The controller we're coming out with already does this. The boost controller is tied into a low level warning which will drop the boost if you run out of alcohol. Ive already talked to the Labonte guys as well and interfacing the IFS-20 with our controller will be a snap.

Same deal, flow drops, boost lowers.

We also have another method for failsafing the system based off of system pressure so if you elected to use the IFS-20, you'd have 3 failsafes in place.

We designed our controller with lots of spare inputs just so we could interface it with things like the IFS-20.
