High piston speeds are good things for turbo Honduhs, it's the whole reason the 1.8+ bottom ends have such a high knock limit. The piston doesn't have a lot of dwell time at crank/rod angles with poor mechanical leverage, so it is easier for the engine to turn than it is to build pressure to the moon + detonate. Also, the piston running away so very quickly down the bore goes hand in hand with burn speed and how it changes in respect to density and engine speed. Now, NA, or even small power turbo, it would suck goat ****.
