Default spray with h/c

how much can you spray on top of a pretty stout h/c package (with the rest of the engine stock, besides support mods that help h/c package)???

imo, spraying on top of a H/C car with a stock bottom end is just living on borrowed time, at almost any level.

Well, give the car too much cylinder pressure and you run the risk of cracking a ringland. These are just Hypereutectic pistons.. personally I wouldn't risk it without forged rods and pistons, but there's a lot of people spraying H/C's on bottom ends and living just fine. The tune would have to be perfect, and even then it's not a guarantee it won't break. Some people are lucky though..
