new best cc306 track times.
Are you really that thick or just want to argue?
Again what is pushing the other 7 is meaningless the rate of acceleration/stress on rod bolts is rpm.
Do you think the greater rate of acceleration on the jug creates more rod bolt stress vs. the same motor NA? The pistons and rods are basically stopping and reaccelerating twice per revolution anyway and that rate is rpm dependent not rate of rpm increase dependent.

I think it is interesting that you think RPM is the ONLY thing that taxes the rod bolts...
Just Slapping the throttle closed at a specific rpm will give an increase in rod bolt stress because of the pressure differential in the intake and the crankcase, its like sucking air though a 1inch pipe and then going to a sonic straw. The highest load the rod bolt will be subjected to is at the highest rpm and then a closed TB. It does matter whether it is closed or not. With this simple FACT, RPM is not the only factor that determines rod bolt stress.
I simply stated that increasing power at a certain rpm also increases rod bolt stress at that same rpm. With him being close to the limit with stock rod bolts it is a factor to ponder. But I apologize to the car god you are...

Well, what the hell. I didn't want to clutter the OP's thread any more, but that's already a done deal!
Congratulations, you've started an argument which you can win.
You lost the original one that you started.

I don't think it gets a fair shake most of the time because people aren't running it with great heads like they are with the more modern grinds.I think a lot of the stigma attached to this cam has to do with folks sticking it in stock longblocks with minimal supporting mods and stock 3.42 gearing and half-assed tuning. In those cases, it and any other large hydraulic isn't going to drive particularly well.
Oh BTW sorry OP I try not to thread-jack but oops....
