[GNeric]

Hell, there are at least 4 of us from Cruces here. Only 3 post kind of regularly. The Dr., Me, FuzzyGN and CliffW will sometimes chime in when in town. I know that there are about 3 more in Albq who chime in on occasion.

I broke the block before I broke the rods. Well over 500 lbs of torque.

The stock rods WILL fail at 400hp. if you detonate the engine. K1 H-Beam rods can fail at 400hp with severe detonation. Stock rods with stock bolts will live at 700+ with no detonation. I have NEVER heard of a rod bolt failure. The rods WILL bend with detonation, long before they fail. THere are many guys running 130+ with stock rods and crank. If the money won't kill you, step up to forged, and have the best/strongest.
