Long rods help the rod ratio a decent amount. But they do next to nothing for the main problem with the 2.3/2.4, which is the piston speed. A longer rod causes the piston to dwell longer at TDC, which makes detonation more likely on a forced induction car. It's an old trick that works well on all-motor V8s for a few more HP, but getting more airflow for power is not a problem for a turbo car with a boost controller, staying away from knock and detonation is our main problem. So, is it worth all the trouble and money to goto long rods, not to me. Maybe to other people. I don't know of any pros running long rods. Brent isn't, there is a chance Shep could be but he is on meth anyways, I doubt Buschur would have ever bothered, I doubt Glazer is. Thats all the DSM pros I know of.
