If the fuel was cut, the engine should stop revving higher. The question then is did the ECU simply not respond to the rising RPMs quickly enough, or did it not cut at all? I would expect a significant change in EGT and AFR if it did actually cut.

When I eventually decide where I want to live a URINAL is going in so I can piss no matter the circumstance

Speaking of urinals. Last job creepy fucking guy would drop his pants to piss at the urinal, just like Butters. Who does that!?

Hah. Like I'm going to compare any of the stuff that we do with F1. That's probably made out of kryptonite. ;)

Getting into a bit of an unrelated tangent here, but "Pistons must be manufactured from an aluminium alloy which is either Al-Si ; Al-Cu ; Al-Mg or Al-Zn based."

The material itself isn't anything special, it's just the design and tolerances they hold that make it work. There's nothing but engineering cost and reliability stopping us here :lol:

It certainly can be done, but wear is gonna be an issue. For reference, a piston out of a modern F1 engine, 98mm bore. These guys are putting out north of 300bhp/L with a design life of around 2,000 racing miles between engine changes.
