A question I would like to ask about number 3. Could this be why some of the racing teams use the better material for there connecting rods?
Generally, higher-strength rods are used primarily for their ability to withstand RPM's. I don't know if rod strength would have any effect on crank whip. Just my $0.02.

Im not trying to insult you, or piss you off, but do you even know who Terry Haines is?? And if you do, do you understand where hes comming from??? And im not just talking about the post that is first did with his e-mail.
Im tlaking about his history with the Contour and with Ceg...from what I could tell it wasn;t very good and it wasn't because of the MOD's,people just didn;t seem to be intrested in his advise....and when they did, they did the exact oppsite.
And If you read further in the posts, you can see that many people explained what he was saying.
Im not sayign any of this to piss you off..Im just asking these questions trying to figure out if you really are a newbie or if your a regular...because i have come to find out Post counts don;t mean anything....And if you are a regualr then I respect your opinion because you have definatly seen more thani have.

After both reading and listening to Terry Haines in person, I do believe he is much much better at speaking than at typing his words on a computer.
He truly is two different persons regarding an online persona an the real life, face to face guy. A very engaging and wonderful to listen to speaker.
I don't always agree with his business practices, but I do understand how he came to some of them (witness how many backed out of Aussie Bar GB's in the past), but seldom do I question his knowledge about this platform.
But he, like most engineers, always wants to be right, and does not suffer fools lightly.
FWIW,
