Nope no problems with the rods, and Mike checked everything over himself 7 or so times to make sure lol!
Yeah with the MAS pinned I am not sure about actual airflow, basically the ECU is guessing at this point based on VE tables...Also revving the 8000 at this point is doable, but probably wouldn't yield much of a gain due to stock head/cams/intake manifold...
We'll stick with 7500 and 25 psi for the SO, once I get back we'll see whats up
