The Barra 182 conrods are up to the task aren't they? Dunno! Im using Eagle rods in my XC, but that's a totally different motor.There's only one way to find out! :lol: Seriously, the good thing about supercharging, is the power is fed in more gradually, so in a way its kinder on components. Keep in mind, if a rod does let go, a new complete short motor is only about 1500 bucks. Cheaper if you buy through me! :lol: I dont reckon you will have any problems as long as you keep the boost at sane levels. My neighbour Vortech'd his XR6 (EL), its still going real strong, its now got over 100,000 klms on it. Completely standard motor. He runs 8 psi. And he is making 258kw. Hope this helps!

With supercharging you wont be getting anywhere near the power needed to bend the standard rods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want it do it who cares about the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stock order generally takes a week, maybe a week and a half. Dont quote me though!Any particular reason for asking Scotty? :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
