With proper ring gap, fuel and ignition how big of a shot would a motor like this handle? Thinking of a 100 shot. Would something like this require the water jackets to be half filled?
Also thinking of getting a 90s magnum 318 engine and putting a cam in and slight head work and hope for 375-400hp. Then mess with nitrous on that motor. Just so I don't scatter my expensive motor. Would the cast pistons in those handle significantly less?
