No, I don't want to talk about tunes, I want to talk about your "theory"
Snipped from one of your links-
"What we're thinking is either a severe overheat due to sustained high speed/high boost operation without an oil cooler on pump gas, or possibly too tight of ring gaps from the factory leading to this failure when combined with the high temperature condition."
Cooling issue is not a rod issue, it just caused damage to the rod.
Piston ring gap is not a rod issue.
So explain your theory again? Weak rods because of too much power? or? What evidence do you have to back this up? Because those links BOTH say oil/heat issues.
