I'm no expert, but it seems to me you are pushing them hard as well. You are accelerating a large chunk of metal down the track. A little too much load/pressure on those stock rods at that point and they don't last long. You're work and learning curve have been fun to watch and learn from. Now go spray it to 150mph! I wanna see a chute on that Crown Vic!

It was the first time we sprayed the car, I've killed an SBE every year for the last 4 years, I'm not trying to set the world on fire. Also, we pulled a degree for the 25 shot, probably didn't even need to, bottle pressure was 850, and I no longer have a lockup converter, so no more hero 1/4 trap speeds. Not to mention it has a brake so it 60s better; essentially "shortening" the (track) amount of time I have to get up to speed. Think of it like this, the previous setup went 0-112 in 6.4 seconds, this setup went 0-113.7 in 6.1 seconds.
I just didnt think the nitrous was needed because it seems to leave well enough and the turbos should have a bunch of overhead at that level. I'd rather run more boost and less timing if that's your goal of keeping a SBE together.

I dig it, we've leaned on SBE pretty hard and munched a few as well. But they lived to north of 27psi so I couldn't complain too much. Got to the point a set of rods and piston was worth its weight in gold and easy to make 1100+ at that point.
