Pull out 4 deg. and you'll be fine-We've run 250hp. with no problems-just watch your tune-up

The biggest thing with the hyper pistons is to control detonation. Hyper pistons are pretty strong, but the strength comes at the cost of being kind of brittle.

With a 100 shot, on a mild/moderate build, I think 4 degrees is pretty conservative, but most definitely safe.

Would running alky injection allow you to run more/safer? (I have no clue???)
