[QUOTE="Jimmysidecarr, post: 10186742, member: 11681"] [B]This is what I suspected but have not yet seen in print. Can you link to that data point to confirm?[/B] [B]This is true[/B], but so are the rods in the 4.1" stroke 5.4 GT500s and people are taking them all the way to 800 RWHP and they are living. The rods in that engine see ridiculously high piston speeds. We do not yet know how stout these BOSS rods are, except that I do not remember hearing about BOSS cars throwing rods last Grand Am season. I think they are going to be plenty stout. In fact I am guessing a BOSS 5.0 will be the next blown GT500 engine, and it may be the same rods when/if it happens. I must admit it's the BOSS engine that has got me to abandon my 2011 GT track car plans. I have a bit of history with Ford, I've been a Ford parts guy since 1970, IMHO this new BOSS 5.0 is even more hard core and full of race car specific parts than the original 69/70 cars were. The rear disc brakes were a kit on the originals, you had to add them from the Muscle Parts catalog before racing, as well as some other items too. Today you can buy a BOSS 302[B][COLOR="Red"]R[/COLOR][/B] ready to rock right from the factory, and even the street BOSS cars are loaded with serious hard core race capable parts. Most notable is the engines which are exactly the same as the BOSS 302[B][COLOR="red"]R[/COLOR][/B] [/QUOTE]
