i'd also like to know

 

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.

 

so do you have to notch the block? anybody else?

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.

Ahh ****, I can't run them on my street car.

 

I was told by Craig 47lbs of torque on the rod bolts.
