Anyone know what the max torque the stock rods can handle for an M20?
I've read that its around the 430wtq mark, and am wondering if you kept the torque figures low at peak torque, and ramped boost in afterwards, could you achieve a much higher horsepower figure while keeping the bottom end together?
Im currently using an M20/B27 bottom end, 280/274 cam, 6266, e85, and ms3 pro evo. Im hitting about 20psi around 4200rpm and about 18* of timing, and it holds it to redline. Its holding together so far and feels like its closing in on about 450whp. Im curious if maybe I could ramp boost to 25psi or so after peak torque (which should be around 4500rpm?), and keep the torque within its limit?
I've seen a relatively stock bottom end M20 hit 647whp that the swedes built I think, and am curious if this was their method?
