i've herd no more then about 12-15psi worth. Thats probally around 210-230hp and then you brake a rod a destroy a head. One word of advice, save for new rods, it'll be worth it in the end. Run less then 9psi and you'll be ok

well i have some crower forged in my zc right now that i could throw in but im a little worried that one might need to be machined. after i built the engine and boosted she seized on me. I suspect that its the stock bearings that i reused any ideas on if the crower rods will be reusable

take them to a machine shop and dont ask dumbass questions like this. how could anyone possibly know if the rods are ok without looking at them.

sorry to be a dick im tired
