At a very light load is what saves the pistons.IMHO

The car is kinda hard to drive. As in, the gas pedal is barely being depressed. I'm going to build a valve the will be centrally located on the intake manifold that I can activate with a switch to become my cruz throttle. The valve will be adjustable for how much air it can let in.

Edit You got me a little worried so I just check all four cylinders with a bore scope. All looks well. I do need to make a better egr system though.
