Most rod failures are caused on the exhaust stroke, as the rod floats in that cycle where as all the other modes, its loaded, except boosted applications,Originally Posted by Vigo
Yeh, i wouldnt want to ride the rev-limiter with no load on the motor very often, thats harder on them than putting 300 hp through them. Remember that the power load on the piston offsets the tensile load on the rod, and most rod failures that arents caused by power or oiling are metal fatigue which is caused by that tensile load. With a 2 step set below 4000 rpm i wouldnt worry about riding it, though.
I cant wait to give this a shot! still planning on buying a chip burner...
