A few things to clear up.
We went with the stockers because we thought they would hold alot more power than they did. We did want to push the stockers to the limits, but we honestly figured the limits to be 750whp on our dyno. All signs point to no detonation, but inspection of the torn down motor will be done with results posted.
I don't consider 16psi "low" but I know many 3s people are running stupid amounts of timing with redicilously high intake temps, with lean air/fuel ratios, and are doing fine. My air fuels were in the 10's, the timing was 16 degrees, the knock sensor wasn't picking up anything (less than 1 volt) and the plugs were clean. Short of having a seat inside of the cylinder, watching the flame front, there was nothing else we could moniter. My motor ran cold (185 on the street, up to 207 on the dyno after 12 or so back to back pulls) and had great oil pressure.
The "missing" justin kept hearing is the fuel cut on decel. It is very loud on my car because of the 4" exhaust. I am having the injectors shut off on decel (just like any car) just makes a bunch of "paw paw paw" noises...kind of like the srt4's.
I guess we'll see what it looks like when it comes apart, but it really doesn't matter in the end. To me we have found what I consider the "limit" on that rod. I don't know the history on the rods in my motor (sourced them from many different motors) and we tried to treat the all the same.
All the rods have arp rod bolts, and brass bushing for the wrist pins. The rotating assembly has been perfectly balanced, and has been cryo treated.
The car will live again, with a forged crank and forged rods. I am done prototyping parts for people. If someone wants to know how much it'll hold, go figure it out on your own budget. The feedback I get from communities is great. It'll get a forged crank, pauter rods, 30+psi, and race gas next time it runs.
Then, hopefully, I'll be throwing up 700+awhp dyno graphs.
