I had seen forged billet with Bill Miller Engineering and their top fuel and funnycar rods but that is a totally different world from a building a strong lightning motor. These are aluminum rods too.

Can you forge billet steel?
dont thinks so ...I guess you could

forging is needed to consolidate the empty voids after degassing, when the rods are billet, there shouldn’t be any porosity left....but then again there shouldn’t be any porosity left after forging....

aluminum rods billet bling bling...

If you had to guess the cause (besides marginal rods) of why it blew, what would it be (downshift, winter air, etc.)?

What mods were done at that time?
Well?

Ken is a real down to earth person. They should have my new motor ready next week, mid week. I really want to find out what she will do. My mods will be close to superfords, so I might have similar numbers. Lets only prey!
