The lateral acceleration your car is seeing _should_ be causing orders of magnitude more starvation if it is, in fact, starvation related to lateral acceleration. I still have my doubts on that, but nothing that I could back up with a rational explanation.
A logging setup on your car would be amazing, but even that never happens my original thought with getting some data on your car is if your car is surviving, then I personally am not too worried that the drop is anything other than an observation at this point. If the car survives well enough and always returns good UOA, then w/e with the drop lol. It probably happens way more often than people are aware, but most of us don't have a sensor/gauge, or a gauge that is sampling frequently enough to spot it. |
I'm with you there as that is my theory as well. But I feel like there's JUST enough engines blowing up out there that it brings us the concern that it could be the related issue. With a lot of stuff like this, time will tell. Need a few years of this new gen getting beat on track and various part testing to determine what's necessary, what helps, and what's to even worry about.
