Also, people who put load on at low RPM (lugging the engine WOT at 2,000RPM) are going to stress the rods a lot more than those who are softer with their input.

Just wanted to open this up for discussion again, as after reading this thread, I feel more success and more failure has been had. Any good experiment's data has a large test pool, right? Too bad we have no control..


I've been daily driving this the past month, and have put 18 track days on it since it's been turboed last November.

Still on the stock engine.
