Don't think i'd want to risk 300bhp on standard rods when steel ones have come down in price as they have now!! Was never convinced of those figures stated in the magazines either on a t3....the new reincarnation he did wasn't overly fast when it was timed at brunters, certainly not as quick as you'd expect wth the power it was meant to have. But yes, field motorsport did his engines so give them a call i'd say!

if its the peening in particular your after, dont go wasting money asking a specialist tuner to do it as you will pay a tuner premium for a job that can be done, like mine for example, in the shot blasting facility of a foundry lol. couple of the foundries my dad has worked at have done shot peening surface finishing on a variety of their castings, nowt special

basically the peening removes tensile stresses and replaces with compressive stresses, which reduces fatigue and increases product life. also in cast parts, most imperfections and hairline cracks originate at the surface, so they are either removed by the peening, or the cracks themselves arent as problematic when in compression
in a nut shell, twat it with lots of shot and make it look all dimpled
