Why did you decide to go with the R&R racing rods?
R&R is who Josh works with to do the connecting rods. We only use R&R rods

because he thinks he can bend a carrillo .. LOL
Coming from the guy who thought he wouldnt bend stock rods
wrong.*but didnt think it would happen in a day.

For ****s and giggles do you remember the exact HP and boost it bent at?
it was back pressure that did it. we had made some changes to the duty cycle the night before , then nathaniel and i went out hot rodding it to put fuel in it not knowing that tadd had put that tune in. on the dyno pull when it let go it was on a skyward pull to 1200 and started sounding like a slot machine. iirc 85-90 psi .
Did i miss something ...
you missed that in physics class. just think about which way forces are applied. boost applies it one way and bp applies it another. boost was 85-90 , bp was 140 . same way bp can blow a headgasket.
I can see how 140 psi of backPressure will hold valves open.
A rod that can take several thousand psi of combustion pressure being bent with only 140 of back pressure doesn't make sence to me.
Won't boost and backPressure both be trying to push the piston down?
That's what happens. The bp is pushing down and the crank is pushing up and bingo bent rods.
No offence but Its a little more complicated then that.
Anyhow derial over. Is this motor done yet LOL
Maybe I read over it. When is it coming apart, or is it already?
Motor will be built on the stand then the cab will come off. Entire motor is ready to go together. Waiting on chargers, up pipes now
handle yo biznitz.
