The tune is important, because you can possibly squeeze almost 400hp with the stock rods alone provided the conditions are perfect.

The should not require any notching.
The tune makes a BIG difference in what they can handle. I would say over 400whp is fine, but as you approach 500 or so things get pretty hairy. We had a customer car make some pretty extreme numbers on these rods.

We have had a few customers make high 400s and low 500s on these rods with no issues. So take that as a feather in your cap.

matt, the dezod store is not open yet, as far as i know they WILL have a store but right now not yet.
if you come to az you can chill at my pad.
edit: perhaps i came off as a little egotistical i didn't mean that. i meant it along the way of...yes, i'm aware that a small mistake can turn into something big but it's a chance i'm going to take and this won't be until i can finish up school or at least get to the engine building portion of school.
besides, we all start somewhere
