It would be very interesting to have one of the stock rods analyzed for its real rating. From what I have been reading in some automotive engineering journals, stock rods are typically designed to handle between 25% and 40% more force than stock, which in our case would mean about 150 HP max (if ours are really 40% over engineered).

If we could find out the compression PSI limit of the stock rods, it would be easy enough to run the math to determine the theoretical boost limit.
