with all the talk of aluminum melting at the 1200's how about custom titanium parts melting at 3034?
Ok I'll shut up it is a stupid idea

I asked a PSD owner about this once back in the DramaStop days. The answer I got wasn't really very satisfying...they made it sound like the oil cooler jets spraying the pistons would bring the piston temps down enough to be able to safely run at an EGT that high. Personally, I think that that's asking for it...I wouldn't want to run that risk myself, so even if I had a darkside truck or a goat, I would just stick with 1250°, unless I heard a better answer than THAT...JPR said:So how can the dodge folks get away with +1500ºF? "with the stocker i would hit 1550 a little before halfway through 4th." look at the #9 post
There's also the coolant; Heat is carried to the cylinder walls via the rings. The intake charge also cools as the exhaust leaves and takes away some heatThe Warden said:I asked a PSD owner about this once back in the DramaStop days.
