Did they change the rods back to the '99-'00 rods for the '03's?

Does anybody know. There is no way to find out through part numbers as the 2003 rods/piston assembly replaces all previous years.

 

i doubt they would of went back to "old" rods, probably just new updated style

 

Ok lets put it this way, did they make an upgrade to the rods from the 2001 to fix the weaknesses?

 

The same rods have been used from '99 to present.

 

I heard rumors that the 03 rods and also the block itself was stronger?

 

What weakness.
Constant 11 second runs. daily Driven w/8# lower and dynoed 440 RWHP and 560 RWTQ on my WEAKASS 01' rods.
22,000 miles and the rods are still in the block.

I heard the new rods have magic pixie dust sprinkled on them but I don't know if this is true as my source was a pixie and might have been trying to boost the magic pixie dust comodity market.

 

They are sprinkled with crack.

 

Thats not what most people say including Sal from PSP. Rodswere supposed to come from a differant vender from 2001-2002.

 

Vinnie are those number SAE or STD(Actual)>??? Just curious cause I wanna compare my dyno numbers to yours and my ETs to yours. Thanks, -Mat-

 

I have an '01 w/17K mi. on the stock engine and no rod problems!!!

Dynoed 428 w/o juice and 482 w/N20!!!

Took her to the dragstrip the day i purchased it!!!

 

Maybe the crack helped.

 

SAE and I screwed up. Its only 430, but the point was the fact that my rods are still in my motor after I added 70 RWHP.

my rods are stoned

 

Ok I was just curious cause I am 4 tenths slower then you and we have the same power. I guess I need to go on a diet, but I am also not getting good 60fts like you. My tranny sucks too. OH well. Thanks for the info. -Mat-
