I had a number two rod failure. Catastrophic, destroyed the entire engine. Only my passenger side head blank was reusable, as it was machined for larger valves. It was not reusable with stock valves. C30 on regular pulley and e85 with full exhaust. The rods are the weakest link in my experience. It was epic fun though!

I am considering going HBP later in the future, when/if I decide I want anymore power, and know I would have to do injectors/pump at that point, but if there is no reason for them just running the stock pulley and E85, I’d rather wait.
I’ll be primarily tracking it, so I’ve been told E85 is a better option because it burns much cooler, but I’m also concerned with pushing the motor to its limit, and worried that the extra power from E85 may do that.
Any insight is greatly appreciated!
