The last CR engine we pulled only had 800 miles on it since it had been built by previous shop, it had Shot peened polished and balance rods from Haisleys and 3 of the rods were bent and that was all done with a Smarty, single stage 3 pump, S466/87/.9 t4 turbo and flux 4s. Here's what the rods look like.
This is a 6.7 which is a torque monster and with his turbo setup having capabilities of 100psi I don't see the rods loving life at all unless he's planning on making all his power above 4000rpm. It could stay together but Im guessing the rods will have some distortion if it makes 1000HP.
And I'm by no means discrediting the OP and his build, just sharing my experience/opinion. I understand a budget.
Uh, I hope those aren't THE rods that came out. There is nothing polished about them...
