If a LS rod is revved above 9k, even with ARPs, it will eventually oval. Period. The point it, you don't need a LS crank to make decent torque numbers. I make good torque numbers with a 87 mm crank because the build was thought out. I would rather have the security of knowing my engine will last than have the <2 lbs of torque increase and have to worry about spinning a rod.

Suppose one man fucks a sheep, I'm sure more than a million people would say it's wrong. He thinks it works because he did it. Who's wrong here? It works, but it can't possibly be the best.
