You have to notch for any rod that big in a D series.

I actually made a thread about these last night.

I emailed them awhile back and was emailed back almost immediately (seem to have good customer support. )

I was told they're good to 4-500whp. The lady that emailed me said they are only good to about 6000rpm, but in my thread one of the posters said they can safely go to 7500rpm.

I have first-hand experience. Yes, you must notch the block for d-series.

TT is some good folks, guys. I've bought from them a couple of times, they're great about stocking or ordering most everything I ask, if they have a line on it.

http://www.homemadeturbo.com has a couple of builds making solid power, using their rods.
