Maximum horsepower to run safely LOP is determined by peak combustion
pressures which gives us a maximum percentage of rated power IO-550
310x.65=202hp. Lets say we increase the horse power to 350hp with 10:1
pistons, flow balance, etc. Do we have new power curves? Can we safely run
LOP at 350x.65=228hp? does the higher compression create even higher peak
combustion pressures so we must lower the maximums? Do we have to operate
farther LOP to compensate for the higher compression?
