yep..."john noonan" was the guy.

Love that movie. :roflmao:

In this case, though....the end result probably wouldnt be so funny.

I sure wouldn't waste my time putting them in an engine I plan to abuse. Mid 700 horse lml, bent all 8. Pistons hit the crank and cracked the skirts too.

I believe that was a mid 700 rwhp build?!? I could be wrong though...

iv made a few sets its all in the design and stress analysis i feel with the right materials i can do a set for a tad north of 1000 in the best materials with arp bolts ill have a shot and see how far i can push them with a very large single :thumb:

Hell yes, nothing to it. Anybody with a mill can do a set of rods. Diesel or gas doesn't matter. Have at it.

Hmmmm. Sounds like a duramaxtuner deal lol.

That's because he designed those rods to handle a little over 3kpsi of cylinder pressure. Little did he know they push almost 3k on a stock tune.

Yea thats what I said, mid 700 horse lml that wherli pulled apart.

I'm just clarifying, 750 rwhp, is 860 fwhp...

finally got my lb7 back together on a lml bottom and an really glad I twined it its like a whole new truck!!! so far its holding together I think at somewhere around 575hp daily driving around i hit 47psi of boost with 40% exergys, s475 over stock, lift pump, ect, I figured id stay safe an stick with the stock cp3 for a limiter for now...

Well it's been less then a year with what I got here an in the middle of June I bent a rod on #5....

So much for the "safe" stock CP3 limiter!

Looking like the LML rod's are not any better.

How hard was it being pushed? Driving style dd or more of a toy?

I'd say it probably doesn't matter much considering he had a stock cp3.

Was just wondering, as everyone seems to get different numbers with a stock cp3.

I understand wanting to know, but no one's getting more than 700hp out of a stock cp3. Anybody who claims different would have to show me a time slip to back up some worthless dyno number. Trust me I would love to have found out that lml rods will work with a mild build!

 

[JackPine47]

It was a daily driver mainly rarely beat on it cuz can't keep fixing stuff When it's my only vehicle...

 

[JackPine47]

The most I did the few days prior was passing a few cars but never really got on it... Not sure if it was just a weak rod or maybe bad injector that helped bend it? I don't really know I guess other then it looks like a banana lol
