How Much Boost

have you ever seen one of sam's old rods? that was not poor oil maintenance, those fuckers flat out bent and failed.

250hp is a lot in a car that light weight

i was going to purchase the forged pisitions later on... get the car finished before i loose sight of what i was doing it for..

about 7 to 10 psi with no detonation and so long as you are not makeing more that 250whp

and I will tell you why. The weak part, is the piston itseld and the material it's made out of. I've not seen an engine fail due to a rod breaking that didn't have something to do with poor oil maintence. What you need to be looking as is the amount of hp you want, not the amount of boost. there are people that have claimed to be pushing 28psi and still only make mid 300hp range.

How this happens? poor tuning or a poor setup.

Focus on the hp goal. If you want more than 250ish, go forged or don't go at all. Even at that, 250hp in a saturn (crank) is faster than some might think.

what if i put forged rods on it with the hyper pistions

about 7 to 10 psi with no detonation and so long as you are not makeing more that 250whp

How much boost can the hyper pistions handle....
