Guys. Rods bend for a few reasons:
1. Just a lot of boost... this won’t happen until 900ft-lb torque at the wheels on this V8
2. The #1 season it’s gonna bend is due to tuning. Pre-ignition, detonation etc. can cause even forged rods to bend
So...
1. Don’t just go around flooring your 26psi map. Anything above 22psi you need to log first and ramp up
2. ALWAYS run 95 AKI or above. 100AKI for 25psi and 110AKI for 30psi
3. Maintain your plugs, oil and monitor general motor health like lealdown every 5K miles
4. Take an oil analysis every oil change (3K max if you are pushing 800-900hp)
My Frozen M5 lasted 20K+ miles at 800/800+
