The Boss rods are better but they are still forged using powder forging.
Thanks for the information.
Once bought a very expensive block and after later tear down, found out it that I’d been ripped off pretty darn good and as it was full of brand x cheap stuff instead of what I ordered. Being I’d had no issues and it ran like a raped ape, realized that maybe my logic was flawed and it was your classic case of overkill vs intended use. After all, wasn’t racing pro stock or running 30lbs boost.
In thinking things through a bit, I’m sure the regular pistons and rods will work fine and may instead upgrade the heads with porting and lighter components. Believe the Boss is intended on being a road race type car maintaining very high rpm’s for a somewhat extended period and the money probably better spent in other areas.
Betting 7500 rpm in the regular 5.0 block is not a big whoop, but I’ll run it through another program looking at piston speed just to be sure. Thanks again!
