To me its counterintuitive that FI engine failures occur at lower rpms. Is there a reason why this occurs?

Torque


FI engines can produce more torque at lower rpm that upper rpm


torque is what breaks rods


part of tuning will be to limit torque (hence power) at lower rpm)


stock engine less than around 300ft lb is usually reasonably safe
