Mine is running 260bhp with standard rods although they have been shot peened and stress releived. Steel rods are on the list as I know it's not a case of IF but WHEN they let go.

yeah that sounds about right.Ive spoken to a couple of tuners who have all said that cvh rods never actually seen any snap in half and when they do break,its due to the rod bolts snapping.They do warp and stretch with high revs though but stress relieving makes quite a bit of difference. In the real world though,if youve spent ££££'s on your turbo,pistons and everything else,would you risk taking the chance?
