Obviously that depends on the engine. I'll let a VW guy comment on that end of the spectrum, but I can tell you from personal experience that a Corvair will keep on climbing at a pretty good rate with one totally dead cylinder. I think Bill Clapp had a spark plug blow out on takeoff, and obviously he was able to make it back in too. I'm still headed to Frasca, but weather may determine whether I show up Friday afternoon or early Saturday.
