Rod bolts usually will usually break/stretch from high RPMs when the pistons pull on them on the up stroke and rods usually bend on the down/compression stroke or on the up stroke when you suck in water/blow a HG and fill the cylinder with coolant.
So you are thinking just too much torque/power for the stock rods to handle it?
