Bent another connecting rod

[Modular Racing]

That was quick turnaround MMR for slag. Nice. Subscribed

Thank you, those were actually removed from the normal production line at Manley as he is understandably in a hurry, so Manley helped us out by getting them done a little quicker than usual as we were completely out of stock when he ordered them, thankfully we have since received our new stocking order so we are all caught up again. :beer:

So your saying they bypassed quality control at the factory, lol. Nice! I kid, I kid:beer:

LOL,! They were actually inspected by their head of engineering Ryan S. (who heads up the custom piston dept) :banana:

MMR, (Greg? Mark?) if you happen to know, are most of the rod failures coming from centrifugal or twin screw superchargers?

 

[Modular Racing]

We have seen nearly double the amount with twin screw style s/c's, we feel this is because the boost is instant, keeping the engine under a much higher and constant load compared to a centrifugal s/c that might have little or no boost at 3000 rpm compared to a twin screw that is almost at full boost.

[HEMI LOL]

690 rwhp!! and are you still wondering why you bent a rod?!!

This is specific for stock rods correct?

 

[Krace]

OP, what was your boost level at? And were you running e85?

11-12 psi on the gauge, about 780 SAE, with E85.

The std boss 302 uses the same rod.

I thought I read for used different rods an pistons on a boss over a regular 5.0. which is the reason why the raised the limiter to 7500RPM over the 7000RPM

 

[Mr. Anderson]

conrods and pistons are powdered forged in the Boss. valvetrain springs are stiffer and exhaust valves and cam are different.

yes, that is what that is in reference to.
