Pretty sure I read it has forged rods and crank? Maybe I misread it. Thought I saw that in Road & Track.

They're not "forged", they're the powder forged design that has been in the 5.0s this entire time.

Sinter Forged and actually Forged into a shape are completely two different things.

Sinter Forged: Powered metal that is compacted into rough shape of a connecting rod and then hot-stuck by a forge.

Forged: Formed by heating the steel blank red hot and pounding it into shape with a powerful drop hammer.

This....which is what mod motor rods have always been. Including GT500 rods.
