Message	you will not hurt the stock rods, their weight will damage the rod bearings first, maybe causing you to "sling a rod" and breaking the rod, but if this were to happen, it would not likely be the bearings fault. If you push BIG HP with stock rods, do not try to set an RPM record. Rod bearing load is exponentially proportional to RPM.
