The aftermarket rods/pistons are designed to have more "flex" in them, so that they don't break the second that there is a sense of detonation (where as factory rods and pistons will not be as strong and not ready to "flex"). Don't let someone tell you that the D-series motor can only handle "200" horsepower because thats bullshit, easily right now with 11 psi I was hauling around 220sh wheel horsepower

im gonna have to dissagree. aftermarket ---- is stronger, i doubt my crower rods that are twice as thick as stock ones hold more power because they bend more :-\ . plus i think that there is a definite limit to how much power stock internals can handle, perfectly tuned or not. a tiny piece of shitty metal can only hold so much power

It's not THAT bad up here....Last year at bandimere in my bone stock '01 GS-R I ran a 16.2.

My stock ZC will eat your little mini-me alive. :P

You guys seem to be forgetting that 10psi on a T25 is going to produce different HP than....oh say, a GT-60 at 10psi. I can create 20 additional horsepower per 1 psi given the right turbo. :-\

Some reason I just don't believe that :), what was your 60 foot?

Supercharged civic si, with weight reduction and other mods only hit a 15'2 (one of my friends that went with us).

And again, my point was lost. I'm not talking about aftermarket rods actually bending, thats why I put flex in quotes. They are simply able to TOLERATE more then factory rods.
However I do need to augment one thing I said, the sleeves will not be able to tolerate higher horsepower, but its not the rods themselves that are incapable of withstanding (as long as the explosion is smooth and they're not shaking, there should never be a problem).

Re:You will all eat my carbon monoxide!

true that sideload is what owns you

Re:You will all eat my carbon monoxide!

no way, there is a physical limit to the amount of hp that the rods can handle. thats like saying you could stand on a toothpick if you had good enough balance

Re:You will all eat my carbon monoxide!

you could. you ever see those fucks make spaghetti bridges and hang 600 lbs off em....?

Re:You will all eat my carbon monoxide!

that still kinda proves my point...you wouldnt be able to put 700 lb on that same bridge. saying there is no limit to what the tiny stock rods can handle makes no sense

Re:You will all eat my carbon monoxide!

no my point there was you could stand on a toothpick
