Default flycutting....affect on detonation?
the "edges" created on the piston face from flycutting, does it create an area that increases the chance of detonation.

like hotspots....although isn't that with n2o and boost?

is it safe to run near 11:1 compression with flycuts?

If you just lightly sand the sharpness off, they're fine.

A little bit of carbon does indeed stick in the corner, but IMO its nothing to worry about.
