toddk911

ok, so 27psi might be safe

TRP951

I beleive it was because he was using stock connecting rods

DDP

With a zillion miles on them IIRC.

Markus951

I had non-forged rods (regular on 91 models) no "rarst" written on them. and I did same amount of boost and nothing bend etc.. but I did not have stroker but stock engine! 550nm

special tool

No.

Rage has said MANY times that he revs very high.
High revs is MUCH, MUCH harder on the engine than high boost.

AL951

That is true. Can you imagine forces that are present in a F1 car revving at 19K?

the crank must be super strong to survive.

I have read that the air in the intake manifold is approaching mach speeds by the time it gets to the valve. Crazy.

Bill

450lb springs with 28mm t-bars? Miss-match?

AL951

Eyal,

How is your car runnig with the new(cut) head?

Can you feel any difference in performance?

AL
