Do you have any idea what the internal cylinder pressures are at takeoff? Do you have any idea what the long-term issues are?

I just installed the dual LSE Plasma III ignition system on a rebuilt IO360 F1A6.  The rebuild was necessary due to a prop strike gear up emergency landing for a takeoff flameout at 70 ft AGL.  Pistons, pins and camshaft were rejected because of corrosion so I installed 10.5 to 1 pistons, modified camshaft to maximize torque at 2,500 rpm. dual LSE ignition and flowed the heads by Lycon.  Broke it in on the stand with a new MT three blade scimiter composite prop.
 
Runs   smooooooooooth. Starts right now. Time will tell if the CDI functions as advertised but I am impressed with starting and smoooth operation.
