I am close to 400 horse on the hose. I have killed pistons, but no rods yet. I run the 7" 198 rods too.

Spend your money elsewhere and just get your stock rods rebuilt with good bolts. They should have no problems at 300HP, unless you get happy and rev too high. Lou |

Don't understand, how rebalancing, depends on clearances. If you are using different pistons and rods, I highly reccommend you balance the rotating assy. If this is a "race" engine, in my opinion, it is required.

It never hurts to balance the engine. It it highly reccommended if you change the pistons. They could be a different weight, then what was in there. PS: Come up for a visit sometime. We can do some bench racing. I'm not a big distance from you. |

Nhaaa. We put wheels on the work bench (or ski's if up north) and send them down the hill. Of course you are laying on it.

Yep, that's bench racing, except it normally it also is fueled by a twelve pack.
