Not sure if it is a "superior method", with the amount of spun bearings out there, but on paper seems to be a good process.




Many cars have sinter forged rods. Actually it provides for a more stable grain pattern then standard forging.

Two cars that come to mind in particular and support a ton of power in stock form are the LS1 and the 2.4L in the SRT-4
