I was just reading here and here
about the Ford Lightning's throwing rods. They are bumping up the boost and/or running nitrous then throwing rods. I was thinking I've never heard of a Viper with a thrown rod or bottom end problem, other than spun bearing or melted pistons. Has anyone ever heard of a Viper motor that let go, and threw a rod? If so what were the circumstances that caused it? Just wondering with all the new supercharger kits what the engine can it actually handle. There are several here with cars making 800 rwhp on a stock bottom motor, so what's the limit? Anybody?
