Aftermarket Timing Belts

...To get the power i want, i will have to push a little past the 8000rpm redline...... If i can get a tougher rod in there to take the abuse... i'll spend the money.

Ah, there's the difference between you and others, which is why I included the assumption of no RPM increase. I agree that those are different forces and less tested (at least amongst this crowd). I'd like to hear from people who have bumped up the rev limit on their cars and run them hard. I moved my TT to 8500, but mostly so I could go slightly over 8k without bumping the dang limiter and I haven't held it above that for extended periods. I'm guessing that they are over engineered enough to take 8500 all day long, along with the crank, but again that's before the extra stroke. So one or the other, but maybe not both.

well some would be nice...but you can drill into the oil ring if you have to

Not on my engine you won't! That may be going just a bit to far for me.

Back "in the day" i was stroking out B16A's by putting in a LS crank & rods, and using pistons with the pin up in the ring land.......

not something i would like to do on a street motor.... even with rail buttons.

BTW: I'll be happy if i can laydown a honest 350 - 380RWHP....... naturally aspirated. Then if i get some turbo'd monster that is a little faster than me...... i'll have to resort to a 150 spray.

I’ve had the Dali chip for about 3 years. Don’t run it up there too often (to rev limit), even at the track. if I’m too lazy short shift or am chasing someone, Gingerman turn 3 can sometimes make me drive over OEM redline for a brief but sustained period—never really checked the RPM on the tach. No engine problems…yet.
