Open loop at WOT???

[Reiswig, George]

Thanks for the response, Richard.  I suspected that that might be part of
it, but wasn't sure.  I guess the OEMs don't think their cooling systems are
up to the task at consistent WOT?  Or is it because detonation is more
likely at WOT?  

At any rate, thank you for the answer.
