I was thinking of billet con rods when referring to the strengths and weaknesses of sinter-forged ones.
I could have sworn that I've read that one of the main benefits of sinter-forged rods were it's uniform weight characteristics, due to one being able to put the precise amount of "shot" down.
Am I all wet here?
I obviously stand corrected on the RPM piece.
You must have a LOT of rabbit feet hanging from your rear-view mirror if you didn't crap out the other spinning components in your engine bay. I know raising my rev limiter on my '89 SHO cost me more grief than I could afford at the time in terms of just about everything that had a pulley on it...
Couldn't kill the engine but did just about everything else around it, so I considered it a "hard-knock" lesson!
