Message You know how all performance parts having a power rating or load rating. Have you ever seen something on the stock internals on the VGTT motor? It's sad that so many years have gone by since this motor debut and it seems like only in the last few years have people begun to explore it's potential.

I mean using stock rods must means that they do have a high pressure tolerance, but what about the other characteristics such has weight and balance, H-beam or I-beam or making sure one uses APR bolts on them when upgrading the Piston itself.

When Kyle busted his Griddle that day on the track, he busted rods and those where Jun rods right? So really no rod is bullet proof if something where to go wrong in the function of the internal motor. It seems that they talk about how strong there parts are and the metals used, but after seeing that and other cars use way to much NOS and blow the motor, the rods come out looking like chewed up metal pieces that have been put threw the garbage disposal that or there looking like boomerangs ,,, lol.

Another thing, is the stock Rods stronger than the stock pistons? What are the stock interals of the Z made of and what are the stock internals of the Supra made of? Would you happen to know?

STAGE V++++
Going to XIII and beyond :)
