Let's say we take the stock heads and cylinders out of the picture and use heads/cylinders that are overkill and robust....
what is the next weak link in the motor? are the rods going to fail once we start hitting the 200+hp mark? will the stock crank turn to putty at 7000rpm? what about the case?? at what HP range before it cannot hold everything together and gives up scatering it's internals all over??? |
