...which it does depend on when that 400tq hits, sub 3800rpms its not as reliable as 4000+rpms

Says who?
Don't believe everything you read on the internet, plus nothing a set of rod bolts won't fix.

There is a lot you don't know, hence why you keep chasing some power level you can't handle and why your car consistently doesn't run.

Since you don't believe me ask ron, english racing or any of the other people that actually push stock motors rather than chasing the newest parts on the market.

Correct, as always, I shall bow down to you!

I am sorry I ever questioned your ultimate knowledge.

I took one year off and I bought a nice dd and a house.
Plus when my DSMs run I was averaging 30k a year multiple track visits and a ton of street racing time. You? Oh you raced a few times at pg. That's cool I guess.

How popular are those rods in 4 cyl applications?

This is what I was trying to say lol. And yes a built motor with a stock turbo will be so much fun. We'll be racing for tons of beers this summer Scheides!
