I'd like to see them, just for reference. And correct me if I am wrong but it looks like a set of rod bolts exited the side of the block? Sorry about the carnage but as always with Power Adders, excellent reason to upgrade.

Wrong. A bent rod doesn't take out a block most of the time. A rods that shatters will EVERY time. And who says a metal rod won't take 550rwhp?

ok, i'll say it diffrently.
if you're going to keep the stock rods, you need to stay within their limits.
id rather have a rod with higher limits..
on another engine where i have i choice in stock rods, i wouldnt put 550 thru GM pink rods, nor the PM rods
if i was building a motor, i wouldnt use any stock rods, so that doesnt matter anyway.

Damn Dave does DP install's? WHo knew 
Looks like it is time to upgrade. I have seen the same thing happen on a blown Hummer we work on. Just flat exceded the limits around 700 or so fwhp I think the blower and a few covers were all that made it out alive!

Francis's car in this link has been running well over a 200 shot on a stock shortblock for a long time.
