WOT open loop/closed loop

[cmillard at crutchfield.com]

Well.. Lean conditions invite detonation, and lean conditions can make the
piston more brittle, put the two together and you have cracked pistons.  
The fuel is there to help cool the chamber at WOT, as well as help promote
power. 
This is my view using a second gen SBC as a model.

Other than not getting max power is there any disadvantage of 14.7:1 at WOT
with a mild non-turbo motor?  (assuming the A/F ratio swings don't go too
lean)
