Thread: connecting rod strength

can anybody tell me the maximum hp i can put on my connecting rods on my l67 so i dont break any of them with 15 pounds of boost

700whp plus. Watch out with that 15psi on a m90, you should be nearing the danger to manifold stage.

thank u for the heads up. im running with the zzp intake manifold and ss intercooler so hopefully i should be ok. also im glad to know our connecting rods are rated up to some serious power now i dont have worry about snapping one of them when i pull the throttle open.

Yeah, I actually snapped a connecting rod in my car, with all my 240HP.

Not sure how, but I did it....

But yeah, with that much boost, you'll prolly need one wicked tranny/axles/heads

With great power comes great responsibility... In other words, if your making any kind of power and not scanning/tuning your car properly to accomodate those mods, then **** will blow up.
