did you watch any of my passes Simon 100% clean after about the 10 ft mark im limited by my stock injectors

What kind of pulse and fuel pressure are you running? Mine is cleaning up a 2950 pulse @ 26k psi very nicely too. I still need to make it to the track and crack a piston.

Nick just put on the dual pumps and turn her up. You will know if something is wrong trust me LOL

More like you will know when something is wrong. The ability to visually check the rod condition without disassembly makes it pretty easy.

My two cents worth is run a compression test unless your ready to replace the short Block or possibly more. Pushing it hard with bent rods usually ends with inspection holes in the block.

Personally I would test it and I have a spare shortblock sitting in my garage, just my two pennys.
